I agree that not everyone will go with JSF and there will always be room for alternatives. I also agree that Struts will "live on". From what I can tell, JSF (as of EA4) embodies the best features of Struts and adds on to them. This seems very positive.
But isn't JSF just a spec? So couldn't Struts become the reference implementation for JSF, like Tomcat? I'm hoping Sun or one of the Struts committers will stand up and give all of us Struts users some more guidance. I know my company is definitely curious to know where things are headed so we can plan accordingly. It would be great if JSF came with all the promised components and tools. I can't wait.
