GWT-Material vs Polymer

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could chime in about some of the new libraries being used. I'm interested in creating a new modern application and I have experimented with GWT-Material, Polymer Elements and GWT-Elemento with CSS3 (GSS). 

I like the syntax of GWT-Elemento and that it tracks very closely to the DOM. I would say that's the best and worst parts of it, in that nothing is really pre-built and I'm doing a lot of UI work myself.

I used Polymer Elements from Vaadin and they seem to work well, but are pretty cumbersome. They feel slow to load on mobile devices and I have some issues sometimes with them not loading when an application is new. I believe this is using the new Web Components stuff which is cool and is the future, but how important is it RIGHT NOW if I want to build a modern, responsive, quick app?

GWT-Material seems great, but I know it's based on the old Widget GWT classes which have fallen a bit out of favor. How has that effected people's experience with the library? I imagine it makes it harder to style the elements and such (with all the inner/outer containers, etc)? Will the library be left behind in GWT 3.0 if Widget support is removed, or do the authors have a plan to migrate?

I do feel like GWT-material lets me get off the ground and be more productive.

Just trying to understand what the best options are for a greenfield application,

Thanks!
