*I hope that GWT will be integrated somehow with Google Chrome because that would mean longer life for GWT as a platform.*
I think that you are missing something here you obviously know GWT is java(script) based toolkit, thus when Chrome supports Javascript the client side support will of course be there. Google couldn't care less what you host the server side code on as long as whatever it is runs interpets the java code things should be fine. Google of course adds gears by default which gives you a few more cool tings to play with but you can't count on people having this installed with other browsers so even if Google would add some ubber cool feature you are not likely to ever use it as it will not be available in 90% of the other browsers. So if anything Chrome will not do anything else for you then give you a new browser to take into account but since GWT takes those worries away nothing special will happen. Google is hurting their own product by not releasing a clear roadmap as developers will be scared of committing to it due to the unclarity of its lifespan. But as far as Googles history shows us those kids don't abandon their toys that easily so I doubt that they will just let GWT die they might simply be on a summer holiday.
