To me, Struts is more like coding DDS by hand, except that you can use
macros that include both the field name and the prompt, and it lays them
out for you, but you can only use SOME of the edit codes.  It's faster
if the supported edit codes work for you, but impossible if they don't.

For example, the Tiles tags are now included in Struts.  Which is fine,
except that Tiles are already deprecated in common usage wuith the
coming of the JavaServer Faces spec.  There is no clear word as to how
the two (Struts and JSF) will co-exist.  So, at this time, my feeling is
that Struts is still a moving target and that you're trading flexibility
for some ease of programming.  This is always a poor trade in my book.
