I finally got it running yesterday (my fault - no free time) and
lickety split I had converted some simple Tapestry stuff we have a
work here. Nothing complete mind you but for myself, an old Java GUI
programmer, the learning curve is infinitesmal compared
to....Tapestry.

Even the demos are easily modified without too much trouble. Being
able to debug it like a normal Java GUI program is simply amazing.

Way back when I found the learning curve of Tapestry hard for reasons
that are probably different from those most find today. I was coming
out of Swing land and had only a few months experiences (ok a year)
with servlet/jsp programming (no struts). Sliding back into the GUI
model programming is nothing to me.

It will be interesting to hear how developers with only web experience
find the GWT learning curve.

But, all new things are cooler than the old things and it remains to
be seen if one will hit the wall once one reaches the limits of GWT.
But so far..WOW!

As for integrating GWT widgets into Tapestry..I can't give an opinion.
I'm not up enough on the hard work Jesse et all have been doing with T
4.1.

PS. [OT]it's very interesting that the devtime tool is an Eclipse RCP
app using SWT.
