I think each Wicket supporter has their own pet features. Mine are;

 * No XML!
 * Pure HTML for styling/templating.
 * True re-usable, stackable components.
 * Elegant design
   - Proper use of classloaders.
   - Hooks for anything one can think of.
   - Properly defined lifecycles.
   - Designed for extendability, yet very restrictive in subclassing.
   - Programing model is similar to GUI/Swing/SWT.
 * Fabulous community, at par with (or better than) the best here in ASF.
   No single, benevolent dictator as many others.

Cheers
Niclas
