Tapestry does a lot of things. It is not easy to cover every aspect with a good/bad old/new style talking about Tapestry as one thing. Opinions from the ones actually using it could be useful for anyone reading this list, so here is my contribution to that.
I have been using Tapestry in different setups since the beginning of Tapestry 5. First I found the IOC and the client components useful. Then I realized the benefits of the genious way the filters works. I really appreciated the move to JQuery, since I already was using that and it really made life easier. Now if not already done, in my opinion, it is time to separate client and server parts. Server should provide json through a rest service, Tapestry works very well for that, for example in combination with Jersey. On the client side I have found the same good feeling, flow, using Angular as I have with Tapestry on the server side. They really work well together. So to conclude, should I recommend anyone to start a new project using Tapestry on the server side? The main problems I would say is the lack of an updated best practices and the missing Java 11 support. I am not updated with the latest on Java 11 support but for my own sake I am not that worried. About the best practices it is mainly a problem for Tapestry acceptance. When people see that pages are rendered server side in Tapestry they see a conflict with the powerful way to build web applications using Angular or similar. What they don't see is the beautiful backend framework that is so complete that it do not require continuous updates. Just opinions, but hopefully it will be of use to someone.
