Re: GWT Cells - Unnecessary headache?

Surely opposite is better? GWT should remove all widgets from the base GWT, and then we can add in widget packages - so if our UI is all CellList stuff then we don't need things like FlexGrid. If we are using RootLayoutPanel, we don't need RootPanel, etc.

It also makes GWT much easier to update, as only the base features need to be updated - all the widget libraries can continue working using standard API...

One of the annoying things with GWT currently is we have all of these incompatible tables/widgets/layouts etc - it's hard to know which ones to use where.

Sure you have to do a lot more when trying to port CellTable features to a widget based solution. But for CellList its not really an issue. Also AbstractPager and AbstractDataProvider are so generic that you could reuse them for anything as long as your widget implements HasRows and HasData.

But its a well known wish that GWT should provide more feature rich widgets out of the box that makes you think twice if you really need a 3rd party UI component library.
