Thanks for your kind evaluation of my article. I agree that some patterns are generally good for RIAs in general, but I wanted to show how to use them in GWT.

Thank you so much for writing about my article. This is a great summary. I did get into a little back and forth about table tags vs. CSS and I understand that is one of the more controversial anti-patterns.

I come down on the CSS side mostly because I’ve been burned in the past and I want to steal from all the great CSS layouts out there.
