I tend to just always start with an index.html, a reset.css & main.css, and a kitchensink.js hah.. and at some point.. that grows.. and then, at some point, I migrate it to a GWT structure when I feel all the application logic, event bus handling etc warrants it.
I really like java package structures for my widgets.. it helps my old brain out when things get giant. Sure, I love backbone, and handlebars, and mustache… angular.js is awesome.. but I find, most often, that there is "me" and then 15 java people who like Spring MVC in the room.. and so I have to migrate to a middle ground for the long term productivity of the people.
