GWT is a different paradigm, for sure and a bit scary. Program in

used it for a few applications and I am pleased and surprised at how
mature the GWT and SmartGWT behave. The Designer is a bit flaky and is
sensitive to version changes, both in itself and Eclipse. Two years
ago was a different story, but today I use it in a production
environment.
Since it seems we've been moving to discuss web frameworks... there's one
better thing than GWT and it's Vaadin. It still uses GWT widgets, but they
are precompiled. So, you get the same benefits of GWT, as far as I know
(I've never worked directly with it), but without precompiling. Vaadin has
got a visual designer that integrates with Eclipse, as far as I know (I'm
using Vaadin in production, but not the visual designer).
