Does anyone have any experience with these 3 frameworks? They all sound very interesting and we will be starting the formal evaluation process and your thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thank You,

Add AnswerAll three are great for user interfaces. I'm sure you can create equally good UI's with any.
GWT however is in a different category. Although it does do Ajaxy user interfaces it is more than just a user interface library. It aims to provide many tools to bring real software engineering to Ajax applications. I think it accomplishes this well.
If I were to draw a sketch it would simply be three columns, one for each technology. Each would have a box in their column for user interface. GWT would have additional boxes for:
- server interoperation (HTTP, XML, JSON, GWT RPC)
- internationalization
- code obfuscation
- code optimization
- automatically cross browser (even the code you write)
- unit testing
- eclipse (or any Java IDE)
- modularization and java organization/OOP
- easy application versioning
- performance (image bundles, caching considerations)
- code generation
There's quite a bit. Also the GWT engineers are great and constantly working on improving the compiler which means your code automatically runs better with new releases.

YUI is not a framework - it is a collection/library of components that you can reuse in any application. Excellent code and documentation but it doesn't compile javascript like GWT does
