Interesting discussion! I remember old days ...
I think is difficult to say wich is better, you may find people that
suggests you is better to use another template engine for doing MVC like
XMLC, TRiX, ....
IMHO the Turbine added value is to provide a lot of  utilities/tools that
constitutes a core for easy doing web applications, i.e. the users
framework, the scheduler, the DB pooling, etc... not only the Velocity ...
May be the same is true for JetSpeed, the standard portlet API will be nice,
but all the facilities and applications for content sindication, RSS, RDF,
iCalendar, etc.. make up the advantage for developping portals or new
generation of web applications.
