If one of the things you're looking at is the ease of development (i.e.
Visual Studio RAD style tooling vs. hand-coding HTML), I don't know that
it's a fair fight yet.  It seems like .NET has it all over any J2EE
toolsets when it comes to drag-and-drop development.

>From what I've just learned about Java Server Faces, however, it seems like
the J2EE crowd is learning that they need to be as RAD as the .NET guys.
I've really grown to distrust WYSIWYG development tools for web apps, but
what JSF promises is really cool and could close the gap (especially if
WSSD/WSAD/WSDCi provide good support for it).
