This is my personal believes, and I expressed it many times on our local JUG meetings.
Today I work in a rich client project. We're using javaweb start with SWT client connecting on a JBOSS Server with our EJBs. I believe that, Laszlo is somehow a step back on RIA. It may solve a few issues but it adds many problems. 1st. It impose to you that your client must have a webbrowser (ok, 99.99 has it) and it must have flash (I don't) 2nd. It's slow. I don't understand the architecture of flash components but they lie inside a webbrowser which itself consumes memory. 3rd. You can't do everything that a REAL Rich Interface Application could do. So, my guess is, if you need better user interaction, migrate to a real RIA, not attempts to do something that looks like RIA. I really recommend you take a look at HiveBoard :D If you don't need that, your project could be a webcentric, with just minor enhancements (aka DHTML, AJAX), you're already at the right place, you are using Tapestry. I hope that monster (aka Laszlo) does not become a standard.
