I must have been under a rock (or otherwise occupied) and missed the original discussion. However, after reading Jason's two articles my feeling is that so much of his argument is based on syntax discussions. Personally I think this is a "to each his own" issue. To a Java developer, learning the WebMacro or other template solutions isn't necessarily any less obscure than dealing with <%= %> statements that include what amounts to javascript like syntax *any* web developer or designer worth their weight should understand. Trying to do everything in JSPs is certainly not a good idea, and the "model 2" approach SUN decided to not explicitly describe past the 0.92 spec, is a much better architecture. But IMO, whether you use a template language or Java like syntax for the dynamic aspects of a web page, I don't see much difference. So go with what suits you, but don't knock JSPs for such a reason.
