I can't tell; never been used Struts (but I've taken a look at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00495.html)
Turbine is a template-based web apps framework, and mainly uses servlets.
It seems that Struts is too, but it uses JSPs for the presentation (view). So, 
I think if you like to put Java codes in the scripts, then Struts would be for 
you. But if your scripts (for presentation) are not so complex and you like to 
put your business logic on servlets, then I believe that Turbine is for you.

In a sense, JSPs are templates too, but they put (you could put) lots of 
business logic in them. Turbine doesn't want you to do so (presentation is 
presentation, only some if's are allowed :-); if you need to do templating a 
lot, you can use the templating support (ie: Velocity), but if not, you can 
stick to just servlets (and ECS, maybe).

BTW, what is the "standard track" in web applications building...?
