I don't use Struts, Mike, primarily because I just see it as another
custom tag library.  It doesn't really ADD anything, it's just shorthand
for certain features.  It's not that robust, in that it doesn't really
add a lot of editing or anything, and so you're really locking yourself
into that syntax just for the sake of a little less effort.  With
competing technologies like JSF, it's too early to make a call as to
which one will be "the" standard, if either.

Personally, for now I'd rather use includes or a tool like WDSC with its
really powerful templates to generate code that I can hand-tweak if
needed.
