Good points. Personally, I would stay in CF rather than Java.

Struts is a controller and so is Mach II so you can't really combine them. You can implement Struts (in Java) and use CF views (which is what the article shows). The article talks about using CFCs for the model too but doesn't show how that would work (I can see how you could call CFCs from CF views but not from JSP views or even from Struts itself).

I'm interested in anyone's opinions regarding going the Struts route, with all that implies, vs. the CF Route, using Mach-ii as a framework.
Struts is quite a bit of machinery although it does have some cool stuff in it but you'll need to write Java, potentially quite a bit of Java. Mach II is a much simpler way to implement MVC purely in CF. Your choice is really going to come down to whether you're happy writing in Java or whether you'd rather stick to CF. Personally I feel Struts is overkill for most of the stuff folks are building in terms of simple web apps (and some people think Mach II is overkill too, even tho' it is much smaller and simpler!).
Do you have some more specific questions about the frameworks / approaches?
