I am using 2.0 for development right now, with the intentions that by the time I roll into production (3-6 months), 2.0 will be close to a release version. If 2.0 should get scrapped, it would take me probably a week or less to port back to 1.3, so I'm not too concerned about that. What's important is that for us 2.0 users that we know sooner than later if that is going to happen :)
My main reason for choosing 2.0 was jdk 1.5 support, and the long-term picture that 2.0 would become the primarily used and supported branch by the time I went into production (or at least getting very close). The constructor change I like for the most part -- it seems to have simplified my development a bit. Not having to worry about calling #add() is nice, and I haven't really run into any issues with code explosion mentioned earlier in this thread. I don't use markup to drive components, so construction-time markup doesn't help me much. A little off-topic, but when I first started using wicket, I always thought it would be more intuitive to do something like: panel.add( "myComponent", myComponent ); Which leaves the constructors clean, and makes it very easy to choose/pass around components, because the markup id doesn't need to be known except by the parent thats actually attaching the component. I can't remember why things never ended up that way... I'll have to search for that discussion thread. In any case, whether 2.0 is scrapped or not won't affect me all that much... luckily most of my development thus far hasn't been on the web tier so I'm only a few thousand lines of code with 2.0 and could revert back to 1.3 relatively easy.
