Err, sorry to interject but I also feel that we don't do enough large-scale development on Wicket. Eelco, I understand you have been using Wicket for your project but that is one person doing one project and over the past few months we've run into a lot of issues that make it clear that Wicket is not yet ready for use in production machines. There was and still is some pretty basic functionality missing from the framework and most recently performance has become a more noticable factor. I think that one cannot say that Wicket is ready for use in production machines until after a handful of companies with big websites use it.
As Jon pointed out, that will likely be Wicket 1.1, not 1.0. Even when the latter goes final I don't think it'll have decent performance for use in corporate websites. Just my 2 cents.

You're not? We do. Though the web application part is just a part of the whole, we're using Wicket for our 7 man year + project right now.
The fact that we don't have javascript support etc. build in yet, doesn't mean it is not useable. You can do Javascript, AJAX, whatever right now if you want to. It's just not yet totally integrated, which actually only means that you'll not be able to create high level reuseable components with JS/ AJAX/ etc.
I also think the clustering options are suited for production now. Might need a few tweaks here and there, but it's allready so much better than the Struts-like frameworks we're used to. And if you want to develop client-state pages, you can do that now (using bookmarkable pages). It's just that we're gonna make it even easier in 1.1.

if it helps any, i believe this is not going to be any /long term/ trouble. right now, i would not base a million dollar large-scale web app on wicket...
