Does this guy go trolling for Struts blog entries or something? He suggested in response to my recent criticism of Struts that I give XWork/WebWork2 a try before writing my own framework.

I am as likely to launch into writing my own framework right now as I am to hit the lottery, even if I did play. Work is insane and however it pans out with the current decision point, isn't going to settle down enough to allow more personal development time. And I am not going to commit the fatal mistake of undertaking a second, significantly more ambitious project before completing everything I've set out to accomplish with Navel. Assuming my threes of users really want me to finish Navel.

As much as I am dissatisfied and disagree with some of Struts design decisions (DynaForms in particular), it is what I know best right now, so I'll probably keep using it until I learn or craft something better. I'm not sure how much better I'm going to like Jason's code given his apparent attitudes towards some of the technologies I happen to enjoy, like JSTL.
