JavaFX, GWT, Adobe Flex and OpenLaszlo

A search on Google trend on the popularity of JavaFX, GWT, Adobe Flex and OpenLaszlo reveal the following graph





It seems that GWT is a very popular API in UI development currently.

This is just a show in search term regarding the 4 UI API language. Base on the data, OpenLaszlo does not show a good adaption by developer and it is on a decline.

I do have some experience in OpenLaszlo vs GWT

  • Debugging OpenLaszlo application is really a pain. No step debugging provided
  • Comparing to OpenLaszlo, GWT is a winner here. It has the best developer companion (Step Debugging).
  • Also, if you are a Java and Eclipse inclined developer, you will love GWT environment.
