I guess it's tricky - GXT is still owned by Sencha, even though I don't believe they actively sell it these days. My firm was one of the early customers, and we still pay Sencha for maintenance. TBH, there's nothing much in the way of enhancements going on and we always have to prod them when we find issues with newer versions of GWT (sometimes even sending them the mods we find our side). But they have come through with fixes and changes we needed. This thread here describes one of those cases - we're now on GWT 2.12.0 and GXT 4.2.0 and it's all working fine together, but we did have to push Sencha to get mods done for this specific case and issue a new GXT release for that.
FWIW - a few of our panels still use the older GWT-Ext widget set which later became part of SmartGWT. We've had no issues with those in GWT upgrades, although of course no one maintains them so it is very much "fix it yourself". It's also non -trivial making GXT and GWT-Ext live side by side in one app due to overlaps in the CSS style names. We had to create a manual munging script to sort that out, but the effort of that was lower than recoding all of those panels - we replace them slowly over time as we need.
