Tapestry vs. Struts
I've been watching the Tapestry mailing lists in hopes of picking up some tips before I start learning it. In reality, I'm waiting for Tapestry in Action, which will hopefully make it easier to learn. Today, there was a very interesting thread comparing Tapestry to Struts. It looks to me that Tapestry is easier to develop with once you get the hang of it, but apparently, it has a steep learning curve.
The Tapestry Mailing list is interesting - it seems to have a different level of users. Maybe it's just me, but they seem to be a more enlightened crowd. You could almost say the same for the WebWork mailing lists. If I compare these two lists to the questions on the Struts mailing lists - it seems like there's a bunch of idiots over there (on Struts). Don't these people know how to use Google?! To be fair to Struts, I have a theory.
If WebWork or Tapestry ever becomes as popular as Struts, they'll get their fare share of idiots too.
It's just the nature of mailing lists - it's so much easier to ask your question than to look for the answer. Which reminds me...

If I wrote an article, that might lead to more users - leading to more support e-mails for me. Sounds like a lot of work. ;-)
Of course, the flip-side is that the more visibility it gets, the more the code will improve. I do plan to do a couple of short presentations on it in the near future.
You can also be assured that if I ever write another book - AppFuse will be my sample app!
