Is Ext-GWT still a nightmare?

I have several GXT applications, one of which is ~35K lines. Have not found any of the problems other people mention.

I have several GXT applications, one of which is ~35K lines. Have not found any of the problems other people mention. I was doing straight ExtJs/JavaScript, then moved to GWT with the advent of GWT-EXT and later moved to Ext-GWT (GXT).

I would still be doing ExtJs/JavaScript today if it were not for those two toolkits. Performance issues: non issue on modern browsers. On IE6/7, you want to use common sense, displaying 1000 rows in a grid is not the best idea, from a performance and usability standpoint.

Sounds encouraging. Thanks! – bungrudi Jun 21 at 16:41.

A good performance comparision can be found here: gxtvsgwt.appspot.com.

Thanks for the answer. However i'm aware of that performance comparison and that was not my question. My question is more about the 'coding experience' when using GXT.

– bungrudi May 18 at 4:11 like comparing the GXT grid to the GWT grid is a fair comparaison? – Tony BenBrahim Jun 21 at 8:45.

In our current project we have been using Ext-GWT 2 for about a year without any major complaint. It's sometimes a bit buggy but generally works.

Thanks. Useful input. – bungrudi May 18 at 4:13.

We have been using GXT 2. X in the last one year while we built 3 projects with GXT. Other than the lack of a WYSIWYG UI designer which makes the UI designing relatively slow compared to other frameworks, it is still IMO the best widgets library built on top of GWT.So far we have not encountered any major issues with GXT.

We used GXT 2.1. X for a year without any major problems. Recently, we updated to GXT 2.2.4 and just needed minor changes in our code, but they weren't because of GXT, but due to the upgrade to GWT 2.3.0 Personally, I like coding with GXT. I can't see why someone would say GXT development is sucky, except for the already mentioned performance issues and the lack of a UI Designer.

I don't know any other GWT-based framework with so much features.

There is a UI designer for GXT code.google. Com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/… – Tony BenBrahim Jun 21 at 8:55.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
