We're using it for this site: http://www.liveleader.com/. See the live demo if you want to have a look at an app built from scratch in GWT.
To me, the single biggest advantage of GWT is that I can use Java tools for development, refactoring and debugging. As a Java developer with limited JavaScript skills, that's a very big plus. And using Java all the way means that I can share code (and pass objects) between the client and the server.
The generated JavaScript is not very search engine friendly, but GWT apps can be popped into a regular HTML page. You should probably be using GWT for app-like stuff, not things you want Google to pick up.
