I think Grails is a nice tool, as long as what you want to do is within the confines of what it is designed to give you for free. After that, you'll be writing mounds of code. The project I'm working on now was originally started on the Grails platform. It was maybe 5 to 6 months down the road when we finally could not push Grails any further without essentially writing our own framework. So, we re-wrote the entire thing using Struts/Hibernate/Spring. We are all *MUCH* happier, now.

Other frameworks of a similar nature:  Spring-MVC.  Very well done.
Other languages?  too many to go into

If you just want to be able to quickly throw together a very basic web-based application that does a very specific kind of data entry/edit/view, then Grails/Rails are great tools. (I prefer Grails, personally.) Anything more? Struts or Spring-MVC would be my choices.

Guys,

I've been doing struts2 for about 2 years, although I dont know everything
about it but I have been able to get the stuff done.  Most of the stuff I
learned was from Struts2 in action book and this mailing list!

Lately I've been intrigued by the XXX on Rails framework, be it Ruby or
Groovy.  So I am planning to sit down and teach myself Grails.

I wanted some of your thoughts:

What other Frameworks have you learned before/after Struts2?

Apart from Java, What other languages have you been involved in?

Hopefully, this isnt too Off topic :)
