Alternative frameworks like gwt-platform and mvp4g offer similar MVP, Place and event bus architectures but require much less boilerplate. If you worry about departing from the main line of GWT, you should know that GWTP's architecture share many similarities and we plan to start integrating it as soon as GWT activities and places are stable and well-tested. (GWTP is already quite stable and is used in various production projects.) You can basically see GWTP as an alternative to SpringRoo for those who want to build MVP apps efficiently without having to rely on code generation tools.
