I've been looking a little on this, GWT, and I find it interesting.

It seems like it's effective. As I understand, you need to program java to make it work, how advanced java is required, and how easy is it to set up a webapp really?

any people have any knowledge of this, or maybe even been using it?

I'm not sure about the level of Java knowledge you need but John has used it before. He wrote a blog here: Google Web Toolkit

You might want to check out EXT GWT and EXT JS. I like EXT JS.

Truly, if you were going to build an web application from scratch today, would you do it this way with an rich internet application interface, and php just creating the data loaded pages, or the old fashioned way of programming php that generates all the html and everything?

Probably using EXT JS rather than the old way. I'm not sure though, I built the ASCII calculator last year using the old method (No Framework, just PHP and JavaScript).

Which I should point out, has a few bugs. I use GWT rather than a JavaScript framework because I am more fluent in Java than I am in JavaScript, plus all the added benefits I mentioned in my blog. Also, if you read Jordan's blog that talks bad about GXT, you should know that GXT is a single library out of hundreds that can be used with GWT.
