I just don't get this trend with "burying" widgets and UiBinder. Even with 
Errai I don't see any meaningful replacement for composite UI, i.e. design 
simple blocks as <FlowPanel>...</FlowPanel> and then reuse them with 
<MyBlock1>...</MyBlock1>.
Though with Polymer it looks like it's possible by defining web component 
for each logical block.
