I know who he is, but I still remember the last huge flamewar over
WebMacro a month or so ago in the thread entitled "in what ways does
JSP score over Servlets" where you were the primary agent. I'll
say it again: There are about 50 to 100 template systems out there,
and atleast 5 Java based ones. Yet, there have not been any
significant flamewars on either the JSP or Servlet interest list
about these other products, primarily because the authors of
those products are not trying to market them here, but are content
to let their products speak for themselves.
There is no *right* way to design a web application, and I'm sure
most of the people on this list are here because they are interested
in JSP and not because they are ignorant users who don't know
any better.
