Neal, I believe there are four areas that make struts worth the investment. 1) struts allows you or a team to deal with each of the building blocks one at a time. You start with the core and then add-on templates, tiles, validator, etc as and when needed. 2) Rock solid code base. 3) It has an outstanding user community that is very willing to provide assistance. If you haven't already noticed this mailing list generated 80 to 120 message per day. That is a lot of information and ideas flowing. And you must stay around for the Friday threads. ;-) 4) There are a wealth of tools available to help make struts programming easier, and struts integrates into the most popular IDEs.
