Re: Are you happy with GWT?

Absolutely yes!!

Our company was choosen for develop a system that handles incoming radio digital communications from ships at sea, it is a system for safety at sea. The required solution need to have web access for remote operation. We chose to develop a web solution for the whole system, so the local operator and the remote operator will see the same GUI. The web technology choosen was GWT and Sencha GXT 2x, with Jetty as server side technology. 

These technologies allowed us to deliver a quality solution, actually been use in Argentina Coast Guard.

I'm deciding on whether to switch my team to GWT.  I think the biggest thing for me as the tech lead for the company is "Are you happy with your choice to use GWT?"

My reasons for thinking to switch:

-Javascript is a fast and free language, sometimes too fast and free for a large team.  Coding standards can vary from developer to developer, and maintaining architectures can be difficult
-Javascript mistakes are only caught in runtime.  The fact that GWT(Java) would catch 90+% of our simple mistakes makes me more confident that our clients won't.
-Javascript allows for rapid development, but not so rapid bug fixing.
-Strict Java coding + a strong architecture at the outset creates a great foundation to build from.  I've even seen this in my firm's Android apps.  They are very stable.

But for me, I'd really like to hear from developers active in the community.  Are you happy?  Or do you wish you went a different route?  My goal is to have my dev team work more on new projects rather than fixing old projects.  I am hoping that GWT can help with that.  thoughts?
