I think that <tiles:insert> is the most used, even I wrote some tests

But we are cleaning Tiles from the unnecessary and I like <tiles:get>
more (going against my own interests :-) ), simply because it is the
opposite of <tiles:put>, I think it's more intuitive.
I'd lean towards keeping <tiles:insert> because it is widely used.
'Put'ting something in the context, then 'insert'ing it into a page
make sense to me.
Unfortunately, I don't have time right now to dig into the code and
figure out what's going on internally, but at a glance I think I
agree with Wendy. To me <tiles:insert> says "insert this tile or
attribute right here on my page" whereas <tiles:get> would say "get a
tile or attribute from context and let me do something with it later."
But don't forget about the <tiles:getAsString> tag as well. It's
semantics are quite different from <tiles:insert>. How would it be
affected if we removed the GetTag?
I'm sorry I haven't had any time to help out with Tiles issues
lately. My day job has been in a whirl and I've been "forced" to
dive into JSF, MyFaces, and Facelets. I promise I fully intend to
come back, hopefully with a better understanding of where tiles fits
into the JSF landscape.
