What a framework like Wicket tries to do is provide a programming model that mimics programming like you would do for a desktop UI app. Why? Because the model is much better suited for the kind of applications many users are building nowadays. Of course, if you are really just developing a document oriented web site with just a couple of forms and not much else, this may be overkill. Much like JPA/ Hibernate/ JDO are overkil when you have a simple data model. But you'd be a minority, given the attention 'rich' user interfaces over the web get nowadays.
