Every paradigm will have its strengths and weaknesses, and some can even be judged to be "better overall" than competing paradigms by a majority in the development community (take MVC for example), but one rule of nature never changes:
The combination of your hard work and dedication is about 7, 8 or 9 times more important than your choice of paradigm, in determining whether your efforts will be successful.
That is the biggest reason why Struts is so successful, and why JSF and the next generation Struts will be successful, I'll wager. If a technology like JDNC, or "page driven development", or what have you, has the same type of dedication behind it, I think it also will succeed. It won't succeed on a good idea alone!
I have never seen more evidence of dedication anywhere as I have on this list, and none these people are employed by "Struts, Inc." (as far as I know . . . ). Amazing!
