Just want to share: last night here at Seattle Java User group we had a round table discussion where people were presenting WEB UI frameworks they use and tried to highlight things they love about them. There were many: Millstone, Barracuda, echo2, JSF, Struts, Tapestry, Tiles/Sitemesh, DWR, RubyOnRails Every presenter had about 6-8 minutes for a sales pitch and at the end people answered the question: If you were a king and decide what framework to use for next project, which framework will you use? (People voted once only for just one framework)
Tapestry 15; Struts 5; JSF 3; The rest got zero or 1 votes; I could attribute Tapestry's warm reception to my presenter skills :) but in reality it is the Howard's hard work and Tapestry community make the framework so appealing to developers. I ask everybody to speak about Tapestry more frequently on occasions and this way we all will benefit from wider Tapestry adoption.
