I don't consider myself a fan of Portals, but to be fair, there are more to Portals than just the
portlet pages. The Portal provides a one-stop administration for the entire application which can
consist of multiple Portlets / Applications. You also get single sign-on for all Portlets hosted on
the Portal and most Portals ship with a plethora of enterprisy applications.
Its a shame the Portal spec deviated so much from the Servlet spec. Servlet based frameworks have to
jump quite a few hoops to comply with the Portlet spec.

Many popular sites that look like portals, use in fact Ajax to load the
different boxes, so they aren't really "portlets". The end-user can't
see this, nor does he knows the difference.
I believe that even most major Javascript frameworks have plug-ins to
easily create this "portlet-like" UIs.
