At this point my preference would be GWT. I think cross-browser compatibility is very important no matter wich UI framework we choose. Regarding this, my personal experience with ExtJS has not been successful. Anyway, IMHO we should care that the user interactions remain as simple as possible and pay attention to usability concerns. With frameworks such as ExtJS it´s easy to make things more complicated that they really are. For instance, have a look at 37signals applications [1]. I love their simplicity and usability. Take this just as an example of what i mean. BR, Juanjo. [1] http://www.37signals.com/
