Not just poor Italy... my experience has been that this isn't uncommon in
the United States either, and anecdotally in other countries as well... in
fact, I'm willing to say that S1 usage, and even 1.1 usage, is still the
most common Struts usage world-wide.

Dunno where it'll be a year from now of course... I work in the finance
sector, and things tend to move a bit slower there than other sectors
might, but I don't know if that's typical of all sectors or not.

If I was starting a new project today and had a choice (but it had to be
Struts), I'd go with S2.  I find it, generally speaking, to be more
logical in how things work... simple things like attributes of tags and
config files being named in a meaningful way helps a lot.

Then again, if I *really* had my druthers, I'd use DWR for everything on
the back-end and pick best-of-breed widgets on the UI to construct my own
client-side framework... the last project I did more or less did this,
although we used S1 and not DWR, but it worked out tremendously well, so
in my mind the approach is more than sound, it's close to ideal...
standard enough that a decent developer can get up to speed quick, but
custom enough to fit the problem domain like a glove.
