Do not forget to mention the disadvantages of the GWT. Especially in business environments it is often crucial to implement already modeled business processes. There is no support for BPEL or other business process engines. Furthermore you must always convert your complex objects on the server side to simple DAOs on the client side, as the client side only understands a small subset of the Java langauge (the subset which can be compiled into JavaScript). Descriptive Validators which are only written once, but implemented differently on client and server side are a big issue (something JSF supports very nice).
GWT is very nice to play with, unbelievable handy and really cool, if you need to deploy a web application only with Java knowledge - but it needs more time to be a good software which can be used for big business projects (however contactoffice proves one wrong, a very nice app written in GWT).
