Re: GWT vs YUI

I'm doing a YUI 3 GWT Java API on code.google.com/p/yuigwt/

I personally believe GWT is best case scenarion for people that refuse or want to avoid the quirks of HTML+JavaScript
It is my personal choice because it allows me to program a web application's UI the same way I program a standalone application (Swing like or SWT like)
Also programming with a more familiar model requires less time. Development times and related costs are thus reduced.
Extensibility is also another additional benefit. Being able to create custom components (either from scratch or from others) adds flexibility.
I would suggest creating GWT wrappers of the YUI components. I haven't done something similar (yet) but I believe it is worth the effort plus I wouldn't expect it to be very hard.

Hi,

We have been using GWT as the framework in our project for quite some
time. Now we are considering migrating the application to YUI due to
the following reasons:

 1. Richness of controls available
 2. Simpler skinning model (developing custom CSS to meet the project
styles)
 3. More open - no complicated Java-to-JS tool to deal with, if we
really get stuck
 4. flexible separation between AJAX features and server-side
templates
 5. fairly good object-oriented JavaScript - using proto-types and
super-classes

But I am personally not clear as to which framework is better in the
long run. So I thought of getting your views in this regard. Please
share your views/suggestions. Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Gene
