If you've developed apps in the past with struts I'd just stay with struts. My company is starting to do some projects with JSF so it is inevitable that I will need to learn it so I'm trying to investigate shale.

The choice you are facing is wheter you want to go for now on with components-based frameworks (JSF/Shale, Tapestry) or a typical action-based framework (Struts/Webwork). Struts is supporting the two choices for the moment and I think it's great! But don't ask for the pro and cons of each approach here or you'll start a holy war!
