Boris, don't let ideas like this influence your development. Despite a handful of well known incompatibilities [1], there is nothing wrong with writing applications where HTML, JSF, JSP, JSTL and servlets are mixed, just as there is nothing wrong with mixing JDBC and an ORM.
I really wish so many folks in the JSF community hadn't promoted this idea. It has been my observation that most of these individuals fall into two categories. There are experts who oversold JSF. The rest are quite new to the field, and are eager to latch on to any kind of 'hard-and-fast' rule in response to so much complexity and confusion that comes w/ each new framework.
