This report on GWT, "The Future of GWT", will be interesting to developers, architects and managers, too. You'll learn details about GWT's usability, its competitors and even opinions as to how it's going to stand up against Dart.

Over 1300 respondents provided data. Overall, GWT is looked upon highly by developers mainly because it targets multiple browsers at once and because it reduces hand coding of Javascript. Slow compile times were a major complaint. These comments are pretty obvious to anyone familiar with GWT, but useful to newcomers. The report digs much deeper though, so experienced developers will learn some things by seeing what a good size survey respondent sample thinks. 

 

Here's a preview of what you'll see in the report:

You'll have to provide your name and email address to get a copy, but I think it's fair since the folks at Vaadin worked hard to provide it along with the other big contributors. And, thanks to Dave Booth for bringing this info to Codetown. If you have questions, Dave's your direct link to the group that put the report together. Check it out here.
