thoughtworks technology radar july 2011, talk negatively about gwt,
these are the 3 reasons:

"First, in many ways, JavaScript is more powerful and expressive than
Java, so we suspect that the generation is going in the wrong
direction."
more powerfull for that?

Scala+GWT project should address this problem bringing more expressive language (Scala) into GWT environment.

To give you a specific example, take a look at:

http://scalagwt.github.com/samples/Showcase.html#CwDatePicker

and check Source code tab. Notice how event handler is expressed:

    datePicker onValueChange { event =>       val date = event.getValue()       val dateString = DateTimeFormat.getMediumDateFormat().format(date)       text.setText(dateString)     }

A few more examples can be found in these slides:
