As has been pointed out, major search indexes inspect Flash content. Surely
initialization DOM manipulation via Javascript is indexed as well. GWT also
encourages REST'ful style of building web apps. The days of having express
everything you needed indexed in HTML alone are gone.

Then again, GWT isn't exactly addressable/discoverable. In general I
like Google for embracing the web, often it seems like everyone runs
away from it and invents complex and artificial layers that we then
can't use from all our devices (think iPhone/Android). I suppose
applets were the worst of these layers. The best was XUL in my
opinion.
