To me, the key features of Struts Tags are that they

0 Access framework state in a consistent and convenient way

and that they are

1 Available for templating technologies that can be distributed in a JAR
2 Easy to extend, or at least replace, on a tag by tag basis
3 Themeable (ideally with easier to subclass themes)

Personally, on the application level, I prefer templating technologies
like Velocity and FreeMarker to JSPs, but it doesn't much matter to me
what we use to write the tag templates. If we could do these four
things with conventional JSP 2 taglibs, then that would be fine with
me too. Alternatively, our own library would also appeal since we
could tweak it to best meet our specific needs (which are rarified).

But, if we were able to fix the caching issue, and profiling turned up
no other significant performance bottlenecks, then I'd say stick with
what we have unless a change is going to significantly improve
functional requirements, like theme extensibility.
