I don't believe so. We're trying to make Struts more flexible and more extensible, and as a result we hope that people continue to extend it and add features Struts doesn't already have, or improve on features it does have. I think using Struts add ons like these give you even more reason to use Struts. > Simplicity is achieved but then the web > app can no longer be considered a standard Struts app, can it? Think of it as Eclipse, with plug ins. Sure you can use just the downloaded package, but wouldn't a JSP plugin make your life easier? The very concept of Struts is changing. Before, you'd get one big download complete with the taglib and tiles extensions. Now they're being broken down into separate packages you can download and add on separately. Even classes like DispatchAction will no longer be part of what's considered the "core" download. You shouldn't limit yourself to the "core" either. Especially if it makes your app simpler, better.
