Is there no more new big frameworks for gwt?

Only ones from this three choices?


Smart GWT, GXT, and Vaaldin?



I like gxt the best when I tried it before because of speed and widget
options.

Smart GWT was slow for me I not sure if they improved that.


Is there better frameworks now for gwt?

depends on what you are going to be using your application for... If it's something within a company and possibly served from a local server I highly recommend smartgwt.  Something that is going to get a lot of traffic and needs to be fast and responsive i would just stick with original GWT with gwt mvc.

I looked into SmartGwt, and I'll just say it wasn't for me.

Give a look to gxt. It's a powerfull gwt library with rich components

Like Joe said it depends.
If you are looking for plug-ins free widgets GXT is the best imho.
But i will put gwt4air in that list.
At my company we are developing mostly Flex applications. gwt4air saved us for having to deal with ActionScript :)

I would be careful when calling them frameworks.  They are more collections of custom widgets.  For frameworks any of them libraries can use different frameworks.

personally, for mvp style apps, I have been using GWTP and loving it.

still nobody mentioned gwt-query - which btw is truely a framework.
while i dont like it's jquery-like naming convention - i stay
impressed with the code itself, especially selector engine ;).
as to gxt and smart gwt - it was not sth i was looking for so i
abandoned using it.

gwt itself is a framework - and while i am not fully convinced to it's
swing-like widget/panel architecture (and gxt or smart gwt made it
even worse), i got used to it.
what i found really missing in gwt was selector engine. moreover, it's
fast growing framework, and thus leaving less area for frameworks.

pure javascript frameworks in much level originated from a necessity
to cover browser differences, and its it's not the case with gwt.
