Rick Hightower has released the first of a series of article on JSF, named JSF for nonbelievers: Clearing the FUD about JSF, which was jumped on heavily with discussion at TheServerSide.
I think that there is some FUD surrounding JSF. I think there was a lot of HYPE surrounding it at first. I am a little schizophrenic about the entire technology. Some days I think it is good to have the standard, other days I curse at the unnecessary complexity.
Howard has written a really thought out entry himself: Tapestry, JSF and FUD.
I think he is spot on with many of his observations. I also wish that in a fantasy land, Tapestry 4.0 would be here which would consist of: Tapestry 3.1 + other items learned from JSF + other items learned from Rails + annotations. Oh, and the vendors would support it with lots of cool plugins and hype ;)
Or something.
