Well, it's been a year and a half since they open sourced it and I have to admit that I am more than disappointed with its lack of prevalence in the UI community. I've been trolling their blog and have seen a fewbooks out on it. But the one thing I'm not seeing is its use outside of Google. I've worked through the examples and tutorials at home and though I've been impressed with the speed, I am disturbed by the actual result (a whole ton of generated Javascript). This is the first UI technology I've found where I can write in the native language of the server (Java) to generate & unit test the UI code. Aside from Google's use & the games of Ryan Dewsbury like KDice & GPokr, does anyone know a major site using the GWT? If you don't and you've used it yourself, why isn't it taking off? Is it too immature? Is it a solution to a problem that already has too many solutions out there? Is it fundamentally lacking in some way?"
