Hi Kevin, There are several hundred projects within Google using GWT and more are being written or rewritten all the time. Some of the major ones:
AdWords UI AdSense UI Blogger ( http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/14/half-a-billion-blog-posts-later-google-to-give-blogger-a-revamp/ ) Groups (new UI) Doclist (the folders in docs, both desktop and mobile versions) Parts of Maps / Geo Follow us @googledevtools for more announcements still to come. For a broader view of companies using GWT, have a look at the companies featured in this year's Developer Tool Sandbox at I/O ( http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/sandbox.html#developer-tools) as well as the case studies posted on the GWT doc site ( http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/casestudies/index.html). Also note that this forum continues to add members at the rate of ~500 / mo. GWT is still growing. Also watch trunk on SVN. Googlers continue to improve GWT every day, and lots of the new features in the last year have been driven by Google projects (notably UIBinder, Activities and Places, and cell widgets). The real question is whether GWT is a good fit for your project. We generally find that teams with strong Java experience writing rich, desktop-like apps benefit the most from GWT. Lots of people on this forum will tell you that if you start with pure JS and your code base grows, you'll soon reach a point where you wish you'd written in GWT. Don't kid yourself--there is a learning curve, especially for server-side developers not used to writing asynchronous, event-driven clients, but if your project is a good fit, you won't look back. /dmc On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Kevin Anderson <kev...@gmail.com> wrote: > I realize that this question was asked in this thread, but seeing as the > response was a few years old I thought I would pose the question again. > > At work there has been a ton of discussion (putting it nicely) about the > use of GWT inside the organization.
