We don't have a designer; we usually start from HTML templates. We find that this becomes very effective once you start modifying and adding things, although there is indeed a learning curve involved. > 2.

Wt includes Wt::Render which is an HTML/CSS to PDF renderer. This is (in our experience) brilliant for reporting since you can reuse much of the HTML/CSS that use for displaying the same information on the user's screen. We've expanded this renderer alot within the scope of the current imminent release. > 3.

If I'm not mistaken, Google no longer owns/drives GWT but "dumped" it in the community last year. I don't believe they are still using GWT themselves in their own product development. We are indeed a small company, but Wt is our bread and butter, and the user base of Wt is still growing. On a technical side, here are some advantages of using Wt : no need for implementing client/server protocol with security risks and performance issues (not too many requests!), no need to artificially trying to break application in smaller downloads using a complicated strategy to have faster startup times ...
