IMHO, ExtJS can become hard to maintain and is more of a tool that does ajax magic, than an application framework. You guys need to test GWT, most likely you'll be impressed; also, it's (a subset of) Java, which you all are already very familiar with. Despites that, it comes with GWTTestCase to make it easy to write test cases and, in the hosted mode, it allows one to debug the entire code without deploy it (ie. test it without actually compiling the code into javascript, which takes a little longer - but generates code faster than you'd write by hand or with ExtJS). > >> We should probably do what we did when selecting Tapestry: choose 2-3 >> contenders, write an example page and compare experience. > > Agreed.
