Re: GWT Cells - Unnecessary headache?

Using a scroll panel and flow panel then means we have to build all the other benefits of the CellTable ourselves.  For example pagers, sorting, columns, data providers.  All those things are great.  I guess my question is.  It would be great if there were two versions of the list widgets.  A Cell version for high performance and a widget version for existing functionality.

You should use Cell widgets when you expect to display a lot of data to get the full performance benefit of using Cell widgets. If you only want to display a few things in a list then simply use ScrollPanel + FlowPanel along with some CSS and add your "list entry" widgets to it. 

Sure CellTable/DataGrid have some nice features like column sorting that are not available in other GWT table like widgets but that does not mean that you should use CellTable/DataGrid for absolutely everything.
