It just pops in my mind that perhaps doing things faster and with less people the second time around is only natural? Everyone tends to learn from the mistakes or at least figure out what could have been done better. Experience usually does that to you :P
Anyway, I think that every tool has its place and its users. Sure, JSTL may not be for everyone, but it may suit a lot of people / teams. Tags can be confusing sometimes, but they can hide a lot of code, not to mention what they do for reusing code. Sure, the same thing can be done with classes and static methods to be called in <%%>, but sometimes it is even more confusing and less flexible that way. Combine different tools (without overdoing it, of course). Don't try to replace everything with tags just for the sake of doing it. Use the tools when they make sense to you and be consistent.
