Just a small note, but despite the common belief, Gmail isn't written with GWT. Serious web app development seems to result in creating a framework of your own, as your examples show, so I'd agree some useful frameworks would be good, but we have not yet worked out what they should do.
I meant do they use a specific framework. My understanding was that GWT was created out of the work they were doing with gmail which is why all of the samples for GWT look like gmail.

What is Gmail written in?
Closure
http://code.google.com/closure/
Any idea why thats being used as opposed to GWT?
Gmail predates GWT by several years. I'm also not entirely sure Gmail is written in Java to begin with.
Javascript (who would imagine!)
