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. /Gwyn
