Re: GWT Cells - Unnecessary headache?

Also you can use FlexTable which supports Widgets if you don't have many records to display.

I have been using the cell widgets for a while now and am having trouble understanding their purpose.  I attended Google IO 2010 when they were introduced and thought great GWT has some list and table widgets now.  But quickly realised that after using them that all your existing widgets need to be re-engineered to enable use in the lists.  Now whilst for performance I can understand why this is necessary, but given that these lists will be used in a lot of typical  given that most people show < 20 records at a time, or often a lot less, it seems like there is a lot of work just to use these widgets.  Therefore I am raising the question in order to get feedback.

With GWT 2.5 we have the UiRenderer which offers some interesting abstraction issues but still requires you to significantly re-write your existing widgets.

Thoughts?
