Hi, I would never write anything non trivial to javascript. I want the capability of static typing and refactoring. If you don't trust or like GWT widgets you can roll your own effectively treating GWT as a java2javascript compiler which is a very valid approach. However if plain javascript doesn't cut it and you need to use some widget library like extjs then again you are dependent on something so you have to consider your dependencies anyway.
