Re: GWT designer & mVp

I'd like to add one more note to the comment below.
GWT Designer seems now a tool for engineers, which don't want to learn
all UiBinder tags or simply want to write code faster. IMHO, I see two
possible paths for GWT Designer future:

1. Continue to improve it and address usability issues such as ones
below, making it easier/better for engineers use. Nice addition to GWT
toolkit in this case.

2. Work with UX & UI designers folks to understand how do they build
now mocks & wireframes for their companies apps. How do they use
Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver? What tools to they use for
wireframes and mocks and how? How do engineers use materials provided
by UX? (we are slicing Photoshop comps, we are rebuilding manually
some mocks or wireframes from scratch as if they were printed) To find
these guys, try going to web design shops or larger enterprise
companies and understand how are they working now, and not only to GWT
users.
Set a goal so that UX & UI designers can completely produce Views in
GWT using GWT Designer. Change GWT Designer so it fits their needs,
not engineers'. When receiving .ui.xml files from designer, an
engineer will just have to add ui:field attribute to some elements.
THAT'S IT. Try to consider any other change than this as a failure.
Now this would be awesome.
