I doubt GWT is dead, as some major Google properties are built using it, including AdWords.
That said, I really wish Google would work a bit more on polishing GWT. It's an amazing technology, but the documentation is woeful (the official docs have a lot of "docs coming soon"), and the UI out of the box doesn't compare e.g. to Bootstrap.
I don't really understand why Google haven't fixed this; I expect it's simply because it's not as interesting from an engineering point of view.

Also note things like GWT super draft mode
These claims sound pretty bogus to me. From all indications (check from Google+ #dartlang ) Dart seems to be alive and kicking.
yes, gwt is dead. https://gist.github.com/1208618
Google Dart, it better be.
