But maybe I am not objective as I have a pain if you drop JSP support. We move to JSF by migrating our JSP application to it - using JSP to allow an easy migration. Hmmmm, maybe I should rethink this strategy ..... :-) But it might be a real hurdle if one not only has to move to JSF but to facelet too, e.g. almost every IDE supports JSP (and thus JSF in general) - for facelet there is still a way to go.
