Big advantage of GWT is that the client-side code runs at the client, just as in Swing. In many other ('older') webframeworks, including ajax-ones, client-side code was rendered at the server and then send to the client (the browser).
I've worked with GWT, it works reasonable nice. You don't have to code any Javascript. On the other hand, most serverside java-frameworks don't work out of the box, and you do have to be aware when your code runs client-side and which serverside.

Another framework you might consider is AngularJS. That framework is completely in Javascript, but is very component-oriented so supposely easy to pick up for programmers. Haven't tried out myself, but I'd to that next time rather then using GWT if I had to develop an appliation that runs in the browser.

Last but not least: why not stick to Java? If all goes well, there will be a JavaFX release for Android which would making your application tabled/mobile capable easily. And there are some reports there might be even a way to run Java application on Ios (IPhone, IPad) even. In my opinion, the UX of stand-alone client-side frameworks is still beer then the ones that run in a browser.
