Certainly worth looking at, but note that like many (all?)
comparisons, it has a certain number of personal view-points built in.

For instance, Matt says "Wicket's EL in templates is very limited and
doesn't allow calling methods with parameters, nor doing conditional
logic". We agree on that, it's just that while he sees it as a negative
point, the Wicket 'team's view is that that's one of the positive
features of Wicket! :-)

In the same way, we differ regarding the default placing of HTML next
to the Java code - certainly initially that feels strange, but as
people explore what can be done with Wicket, e.g. with regards to
creating and reusing components, etc, the advantages of the default
approach become clearer.
