GWT is a great tool for creating JavaScript. No new libraries are required to used the created JS, it can easily wrap YUI, and makes JS a lot more fun to write. The only reason I could see for possibly not using GWT is to edit the file you need the GWT java project and a java toolchain for creating the new JS file.

Other minor reasons are that it doesn't get us a lot more than what YUI gets us, and adding more frameworks into the mix will make our javascript load even heavier than it already is. |

I think the question of whether Java or Javascript is a 'saner' OO language is a bit subjective, too. I rather think Javascript. |

My test apps with event handlers, form handlers, and ajax handler, all wrapped into a single file is 4.9KB. Just the utilities lib from YUI is 109KB.
