99% of the functionality you need, perhaps.  Not nearly that for me.  No
client-side editing.  No lower-to-upper case support.  No command keys.
In fact, nothing above what HTML provides, which is why I say it's
simply another syntax, and a restrictive one at that.

Plus, it has entire sets of tags (such as redirect) which have little or
no business in a JSP.

My opinion, but as far as I can tell Struts is simply a different way of
doing the same thing, and less flexible to boot.  And given the fact
that they even NEED a "plan" to "minimize changes" tells me that this is
just another "Flavor of the Moment".  Again, my opinion, but we'll see
how much support Struts has in a year.
