Well, sort of. Or perhaps that's how it is for you. A structured workflow and tooling is very welcome for web work, where the dominant technologies have grown organically over decades to do things far beyond their originally intended purposes. HTML/CSS/JS are the web's assembly language. Most (definitely not all!) developers don't need to care what CPU instructions their C compiler or language JIT runtime generates, and that's a Very Good Thing. That GWT goes beyond the papering-over of browser differences provided by Jquery-level JS libs is similarly a very good thing. Every browser, JS, or HTML detail that I don't need to care about frees up mental resources that I can use toward actually solving the problems my apps need to solve. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlClGYQACgkQ5IyIbnMUeTvIiwCbBVZH3si+AqROg3zmLOOkdvP4 +XUAn21jNnz+95Lm4ycNS2/J/qD85yCL =eUK1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
