It's not entirely fair to lay these disadvantages completely at the feet of GWT. What you are describing is a disadvantage of all browser based applications, GWT or otherwise. The native languages of the browser, CSS, HTML and mostly Javascript do not have the complete feature set that a language like Java has. And to be fair to that comment, Javascript is an incredibly powerful language, it's the serialization across the HTTP wire that causes the greatest problem. But as I stated, your point is against all DOM Scripted/DHTML/AJAX chubby clients....and not just GWT.

If you buy into the browser based AJAX applications...GWT is a fantastic enterprise-level tool absolutely tailored to big business projects.
