Rich Internet Applications with ExtJS: Which direction should I choose?

Question

I need some help in choosing the right way for my RIA. I do want to use a javascript widget library - possibly ExtJS. I\'m not sure however if I should try to get around pro

Answer 1

One of the main disadvantages to writing javascript is that it often works differently on different browsers. However, with something like jQuery, this is abstracted away from you. Note that the same is true for GWT.

Therefore, I'd say that if you are more comfortable writing swing apps, use GWT and if you are more comfortable writing web apps, use html combined with jquery or another javascript framework.
