Sorry about the previous grammatical errors. I use Eclipse, Ant, XDoclet, JBoss-Tomcat, and Struts. I am really not a front-end GUI person. I wouldn't say JSF or editors are for lazy people. Lazy people for me are people who are unwilling to learn new things. Like someone who has never done their homework to find out what is out there but instead continues to do things the easy way. I have an instructor (I am an undergrad) who swears the best language for web development is PERL. Go figure.
I have worked with C# on several projects, and it's not all bad. But for the reasons stated previously, I will continue to use Java. Although, I would agree with what you said about XML + XSLT. I think that is a smart move. Have you ever used Cocoon? If you find good tools for JSF please post them to the list. From the few seconds I looked at it, I thought it looked like it might have some potential. I especially like the idea of being able to simulate heavy-weight clients inside a browser. I have been meaning to look into the spec, I just haven't had time. Unfortunately some of us have to go to COBOL class. :( --- Nguyen Anh Tuan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >A good developer never thinks much about tools. >Prejudice is bad for innovation.
