What are pros and cons of gwt? And why should I should choose it to use? [closed]

I am still a beginner in GWT. I want to know preferable features of GWT rather than other frameworks.
And has there any advantages or disadvantages on using GWT ?

I asked this question due to below external links...

  1. Pros and Cons of Google Web Toolkit, Part I
  2. Pros and Cons of Google Web Toolkit, Part 2
  3. The disadvantages of the Google Web Toolkit
  4. GWT Development Advantages/Disadvantages
  5. Pros and Cons of GWT
  6. Why Google Web Toolkit (GWT)?
  7. Advantages and Disadvantages of GWT (Google Web Toolkit)

Yes , I know there has many relative informations on above links . I understand that there has no completed frameworks ever. I should choose frameworks for my project demand. So , please assume this question as a discussion . But I am sure it is not really opnion base question.
There have many experience users with GWT on SO . I want to get some useful discussions , suggestions or informations from them.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading my question.

Advantages

  • If you are familiar with java. There will be no learning curve
  • Code can be reusable + all the facilities come along with java
  • When the application becomes larger the code will be easy to maintain
  • Handle the browser compatibility

Disadvantages

  • Need lot of memory to run it in dev mode
  • High compile time
  • Every server call will be ajax
  • You will loose control on your javascript

That's all i can think of now :-). Find more in http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2012/01/gwt-pros-and-cons.html
