GWT is incredible. Admittedly the tooling is a bit clunky but it's really no worse than your run-of-mill webpack/yarn/grunt/gradle/whatever JS build. Such a shame it's kind of been semi-abandoned, it just blows TypeScript/React out of the water on so many fronts. Hard to pick what I like best about it but I think the number one gap that TS et. all will have trouble reaching is compilation to asm.js. It's really hard to overstate just how much more performant GWT apps are pound-for-pound due to this and a few other performance-related features/hacks that seem a long way off, if not downright impossible, to match as long as the source language is JavaScript.
