There is a perception among some people that Struts only supports JSP in the view layer because it provides JSP tags. While this is not true, it would be clearer if there was a separate taglib jar. Velocity users wouldn't have to lug around the JSP tags but, more importantly, the tags could have their own release cycle. A *large* percentage of bugs are reported against the tags so it makes sense to decouple them from the "core". Also, as JSF becomes the standard view technology, there won't be a need for the Struts specific html taglibs (JSTL has already largely replaced the bean and logic taglibs). So, it makes sense to separate the Struts "core" from the view layer technology because there are many choices out there besides the Struts JSP custom tags. I don't see any benefit to separating out other parts of Struts besides the custom tags.
