The problem with this survey is that the results you would get would not be accurate for assessing the time it would take new developers to catch on to using Struts at the present time. There is now a lot more documentation and examples out there to learn from than there was just six months ago. My biggest frustration in the beginning was the lack of examples and cohesive documentation of how all the different pieces fit together. Most of the learning took place by digging into the examples that come with struts and those on Ted's site and then asking questions. Now, however, there are several great books out there( Chucks, Ted's, etc.) and had I had them when I first started life would have been much easier. I think it's really going be difficult to get an accurate feel for how long it takes people to get 'up to speed' with struts since I think it's much easier now for new developers to learn struts simply due to the books and better documentation available.
