Hehe, I espcially agree to the unlearning effect. Had a hard time getting used to the fact that wicket controls what are selected in a component...

Of course, books > like 'Pro Wicket' help a lot but are not for every programmer. I'm not even sure whether I agree :) Wicket can be hard for people that are not comfortable with OO programming. If all you've learned so far is coding PHP, JSP or RoR will be much easier to pick up. Also, for people who have done a bunch of projects with web MVC frameworks like Struts, there is what Howard Lewis Ship (Tapestry) calls the 'unlearning effect'. Wicket probably *is* very easy to learn for programmers that are experienced OO programmers, did a lot of Swing/ SWT/ ... desktop applications, or weren't doing too much UI before. Also, I think Wicket is the best of all web frameworks to learn for programmers who are now learning the trade. It's just Java and just HTML instead of yet another DSL, and imo there's not much that will encourage bad programming practices. > I also thought about: * Good support for modern web pages (AJAX), while > being compatible with older browsers.

We provide a convenience implementation for Ajax, which can be used with other implementations (Dojo, scriptaculous, your own, ...). I think a strong feature of Wicket is that you can create you custom components, including any Ajax support you want for them, without too much trouble.
