Horrible, horrible, GridBagLayout.... I loathe it. What an awful
mess. CSS is so many thousands of times nicer for doing layout....
I am sympathetic to the "applets not Javascript" argument, though.
"Applets with CSS layout" would be especially nice.
But applets don't integrate well with the flow of the web: like Flash-
based sites, you can't bookmark them, search engines can't index
them, etc. There are limits to what they're good for. If there were a
good way to attach Java to a page's DOM, then we'd be cooking.
I wonder how limited GWT is in this respect? Tapestry works very hard
to respect the client's control of their browser.

And Swing can support any kind of layout managers but I have found
GridBagLayout to be very flexible and good for nearly everything I
do with Swing.
Therefore I think it does not make sense to try (re)creating Swing
in browsers. Applets is what we really need :).

GWT is to use the efficient development style of Swing
(I mean Java only, easy to debug/test) but allow to use the underlying
browser's HTML+CSS capatibilites for layout.
