Surprised nobody here has mentioned Google Web Toolkit yet. It's the tool Google uses to build interfaces like Gmail and (I believe) Docs. Freely available: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/ That said, it's not something I would want to use myself (not a Java fan).

It's also worth noting that Gmail especially appears to rely very heavily on Javascript for positioning and styling, rather than pure CSS. Many elements have, eg; `style="width: 123px"`. This is a practice I strive to avoid, so it's interesting to me that Google makes such use of it.
