Ed, You are right that my glass is half empty, but that is just my character ;-)
I've been using GWT since it was first introduced, I loved it straight away - coming from a Motif/JBuilder/Swing background. I am still hoping that they manage to get this back on-track, but I just hope that they put a little more focus on bug-fixing. It is really frustrating that about all the issues I ever reported where put on assumed stale. I spend a lot of time to detect and report these. In the mean time I have worked around many of them (JSNI to the rescue!) and I guess a lot of other people have done the same. But for new people starting out with GWT, this is not easy. You might now have experienced the same issues, but all applications stress the browsers differently. We need to send a lot of data over RPC and that was just plain bad on older IE. Our software runs over fast networks, so the bandwidth is not the issue. But the browser limitations in IE7/8 were. I moved on to JSON for my RPC needs and it moved from minutes to less than a second in some cases.
