I asked for an example where you actually need EL -> can't achieve the same with (standard) tags.
Oh, ok. No, you are right, all the EL expressions do is make my page look a little cleaner vs using c:out. Not that big of a deal I guess, however they are nice for certain things...
For examle... say I wanted to quickly change the color of a class var for table row color based on the index...
I could just do...
<tr class="${status.index % 2 != 0? 'odd':'even'}">Granted I should make a tag that does this (and I did), but it was just for illustration and it seems cleaner than going the whole <c:choose> route imo.
Or, as in the intial question posed, where you wanted to display different things based on a boolean...
