1. The taglibs allow the separation of logic and presentation. You can change
the implementation of a taglib without changing the JSP.
2. You need to know little, if anything, about programming or Java to use a
taglib. I'm a programmer and know Java. I write the taglib and hand it off to
our web team to build a web page. The web team is made up of graphic designers
and html developers. They rarely have to come back to me and ask me questions
about taglibs.

Subject: Re: Help me defend Struts taglibs!!!
Reuse.
Taglibs are callable routines for JSP pages.
Scriptlets tend to devolve into cut and paste spaghetti.
