Hi, I'm also frustrated about which technologies to use on new GWT projects (see https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-web-toolkit/_QSayBAmeX8). But when it comes about the name, GWT should stay. The basic idea around GWT is writing code in Java which is then recompile (or whatever you call it / do it) into JavaScript. And this idea will stick with new GWT 3.0 (it was also very clearly emphasis is one of the talks), so the name should stay. Regards, Matic
