You are right, JSTL doesn't completely remove the need for Struts specific tags.
I think for the purposes of this discussion, the "next generation" would be JSTL plus the struts-el taglib and when we talk about the Struts tags, we're really talking about the traditional, non-el tags. So keep using the <html:form> and other Struts tag and consider migrating to the EL versions if you are using JSTL.
