So, let me give my take on GWT (and add, I'm' happy). I use GWT, UIBinder, and JavascriptOverlayObjects to handle my tempting, i8n and client side business logic code (event bus, writing happy things like if (account.isOpen()) etc)
I use 100% ajax calls to JSON endpoints.. I don't use gwt-rpc. I use GWTQuery or JSNI =-> jquery for 99% of my actual DOM manipulation & event handling. GWT/Java people can read it. The web designer / html / css / jquery people can read it.
