last year or so. We are now in our 4th major release cycle of the last 16 months, and each such cycle has added major new features. Come to think of it, I wonder: what was the last significant feature added to Velocity and when was it added?
Can you tell me, what the "significant features" were, that you've added.
One of the biggest advantages of Velocity is the fact that it gets its job well done and doesn't try to be "more" than a template language.
This has always been the biggest area of debate.
While I'm still a little unhappy with some decisions regarding numbers and arithmetics, I do must admit that this self-reluctance from the developers really helped to clearly distinguish with what should be done on the vm pages (view) and what should be done in java code (model).
Yep. And we use it heavily not only for web, but for SQL code generation, for our QA system for templating XML documents, etc. Still works :)

As Turbine is one of the major users of Velocity (and we just dropped FreeMarker out... ;-) ), I'm really interested where you think that Freemarker is superior to Velocity. Maybe we pull FM back in for 2.4-dev... :-)
