Personally, I love GWTs Java to JS compiler, and its seamless RPC ability. As you mentioned, its widget library is now dated, and not great to work with. I usually keep my use of it to a minimum, instead, creating my own components, or using an off the shelf solution. Eg: https://gwtmaterialdesign.github.io/gwt-material-demo/ *Put some effort into communication! * > Yes. That would be nice. :-) Good rant. I love GWT, and still hold out a lot of hope for GWT 3.0. Off topic: I do wonder how web assembly (WASM) is going to impact GWT, especially if it gets garbage collection, and therefore makes Java to WASM compilation possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
