I'd love to see some built-in interoperability in JSF for GWT. GWT gives you
a lot of Ajax firepower (in fact, it's unrivaled, IMO) on the client, and
JSF provides lots of firepower on the server. Combining the two technologies
is a very attractive proposition.
Grails has a GWT plug-in, and I would love to see JSF have something along
those lines.

While the wicket fanboys like to bang on pots and pans and make a lot
of
noise, I think it's important for me to say where I think we should really
be paying attention -
The following 2 Indeed job trends graphs hopefully make my point:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=jsf%2C+gwt%2C+jquery%2C+yui%2C+dojo%2C+...
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=jsf%2C+php%2C+asp%2C+rails%2C+wicket&am...
We can learn a thing or two from wicket, but I'd rather learn from or work
with technologies that are actually in the process of breaking out, or have
already had great success.
Just something to keep in mind next time you get a derisive tweet.

P.S. And that's also a reminder to me that I really need to look at GWT
again. And I still have that action item to examine our interoperability
with jQuery more thoroughly.
P.P.S. Yes, I think jQuery has won the JS framework wars for the time
being. The jobs data backs up my anecdotal experience. The breakout
appears to have started about 2 years ago.
