Re: is ZK better than GWT..?

ZK annonces that their approach is a server side centric. Conceptually
speaking GWT and ZK are really two different approaches.
Main argument for using ZK WAS they have a declarative approach to
build the UI. This gap is now obsolote since GWT has the UIBinder.

To my point of view the main advantages using GWT are :
- its capabality to deal with several browser specific behavior (and
more over to let the user add browser specific behavior via deferred
binding).
- its client side approach : your server can support load more easily
- its more natural for Programmers who came from Swing/AWT/SWT/GTK...

On the contrary the learning curve is may be stronger
