Downloaded the new 4.0 release last night to check it out, haven’t looked at it since 2.0/3.0. GWT JUnit tests are definatly a NICE addition I wasn’t expecting. Gotten better over the revisions.

My personal wishes (nothing new)
GWT:
(1) Generics, generics, generics
(2) Better debugging integration (restarting is a hassle and takes time)
(3) Speed (hosted mode)

GWT Designer:
(1) 100% Ext integration

Overall GWT just simply works, Ext support in GWT Designer is still new and not 100%, therefor haven’t been able to use it much.

Def some things that would make me use GWT Designer exclusively.

1) Same as others, 1.5, generics, etc
2) Native understanding of the Hibernate package server side, and GWT serialization of the Hibernate objects themselves, potentially without relying on copy the data to a POJO. That’d be killer.
