And this is about where I start ramping up my Ruby studying. I mean, I'm all for competing frameworks, but when the Struts umbrella covers 3 different frameworks (which in term utilize how many technologies?) it begins to get a little silly. Which one should I be learning/using? I know, whichever is appropriate to your project. Problem is that companies out there often recruit talent based on business decisions, not necessarily the absolute precise technical decision. So having some confusion in this space isn't a good thing. It's possibly going to be a detriment to Struts and a boost to JSF and maybe even a boost to Ruby on Rails or .Net or some other platform where the framework of choice is a little more evident.

If StrutsTi/Struts2.0 is so heavily based on WebWork code that one did put an equal sign between the two, then Struts2.0 is not Struts anymore. It would be honest just to say that Struts ran out of steam, it is crusty, it sucks, its development is concluded and everyone is welcomed to switch to shiny WebWork. I would get that. I would accept that. At least I won't feel being fooled. In case of DaimlerChrysler one has an option to go and buy an original product. There is no such an option in Struts/WebWork case. How do you think you will explain to those who "know" that Struts sucks that Struts 2.0 is not Struts 1.x they knew (or actually did not know) before? Will you be telling them that this is actually WebWork, which is so much better? Now that would be fun. I have nothing against WebWork, I had looked into it once or twice, it is surely a nice framework, but I will not buy WebWork skinned as Struts.
