In a private conversation Steve Raeburn indicated he would be interested in these tags. Steve also pointed out we are missing the Nested tags, but since I've never used those before I leave that tedious task to someone else ;)

You are right, JSTL doesn't completely remove the need for Struts specific tags.
I think for the purposes of this discussion, the "next generation" would be JSTL plus the struts-el taglib and when we talk about the Struts tags, we're really talking about the traditional, non-el tags.
So keep using the <html:form> and other Struts tag and consider migrating to the EL versions if you are using JSTL.

Perhaps this belongs on the user list, but I think it is relevant for the discussion at hand. You all seem to regard all of the Struts taglibs as one item, for which JSTL is an alternative. While this is certainly true for the logic: and bean: tags, I have not seen a replacement for the html: form tags (that is, <html:form> and all the controls) in JSTL.
The user guide (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_view.html#form_bean s) suggests we replace
<input type="text" name="username" value="<%= loginBean.getUsername() >"/>
with
<html:text property="username"/>
Does the "use JSTL" camp prefer this,
<input type="text" name="username" value="<c:out value="${loginBean.username}"/>">
or am I missing some basic JSTL?

PS: There is a documentation error there; the original JSP should be
<input type="text" name="username" value="<%= loginBean.getUsername() %>"/> ------------------------------------------^
