I think even Google underestimates the power of GWT in such area as refactoring existing MFC C++/Java-Swing GUI clients into Web based. I rewrote MFC C++ client into GWT in a month. And most of the heavy business logic/calculations been just copy/paste from original C++. Can’t imagine amount of work needed for such app if you use JavaScript

Subject: Re: future of gwt & who use gwt
Hi Warren,
Glad you found my SenchaCon slides (thanks, Thomas--I should have posted them here, too). Let me put some context around "fewer releases, less overhaul." Sencha's Darrell Meyer and Sven Brunken did a huge refactoring of Ext GWT last year to make it more compatible with mainline GWT. This was in part necessitated by all the major changes in GWT since 2.1: Cell widgets, Activities & Places, RequestFactory / AutoBeans, etc. The GWT team has heard from the community quite a few times "please slow down and just make it solid," and we're listening.
As to the first point ("Google is heavily invested"), many of Google's largest projects are built with GWT, and it is widely used within the company. Because GWT is open source, the community will continue to benefit from all the work that Google does on GWT in support of our own projects. This remains one of the great benefits of using GWT.
I apologize for the relative silence on this issue. In general, Google is very careful about making public commitments of any kind and rarely discusses future plans, in part because plans are subject to change.

The following line is also important:
