That's a poor reason to choose a framework. You should do a more thorough analysis of the cost/ benefit tradeoffs you're actually making, noting particularly the costs of testing, maintenance, and functionality changes. There is no sense in which Struts 1 is a better choice for new work when other far better frameworks exist.
To be blunt, if I was working for a company that wanted to use Struts 1 for a new project I would laugh and quit... why would I voluntarily throw away all that's been learned about framework design and testability over the last decade?!
