Benefits of using GWT

\n\n

I18N support
Strongly typed language benefits: No JavaScript syntax errors
Tooling support: eclipse, etc.
Debugging support
Unit Testable
Compiled to specific targets: no browser specific code
Cross browser support
Users are familiar seeing/using GWT widgets: Google application suite and many other Web 2.0 apps
Able to use 3rd party libraries via JSNI (JavaScript Native Interface)
Rapid development using GWT tools such GWTShell etc.
3rd party tools for producing WYSIWYG UI
MVC implementation that is very similar to programming in AWT/SWING\n\t
- "When working with GWT as a developer, it's best to think of it as an analogue to the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). It's the basis for your application framework, not the framework itself."
\n\t
GWT4Gadgets: Support for iGoogle Gadgets / OpenSocial Apps / Google Mapplets
Offline applications using Google-Gears
Full access to the GData APIs
Supports GWT-RPC, REST, WS, etc. communication to back-end, and or Data-APIs\n\t
- Can send complex Java types to and from the server. Data gets serialized across network
\n\t
Accessibility support: ARIA support on FireFox 3+, or FireFox2 with FireVox
Works with Java-Applets and or Flash
Optimizes out redundant metadata from JSON communication to reduce bandwidth cost of client-server communication
