Re: Using GWT for a large UI project

Marius,

in your document you compare GWT wih ASP.NET AJAX but I think it
should be rather compared with Silverlight, this is a "client-side"
technology like GWT which is not linked to server. ASP.NET AJAX is
something very different and demands IIS to be installed server-side.

My story about this comparison. We are having good customer we were
trying to develop for using GWT. Actually skeleton was developed using
GWT but then he wanted more modern appearance, and he could pay money
for commercial libs. We figured out that commercial libraries for
Silverlight are light years ahead of what GWT 3rd party libraries can
offer. Price for such libraries are relatively low ( say in comparison
to developer monthly salary), so cost is not a big problem I think.

e.g.
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/salesdashboard/

Still we love GWT and use it heavily for say http://www.projectkaiser.com:8080/

One more thing: from time to time we have browser-compatibilty-related
issues ( not so big though ) with GWT, especially in Firefox.
