Hi Claudia, it definitely seems so. There are both users and commiters who use both JSPUI and XMLUI and at any point in time, one or the other is in ahead development in some respects, but overall, both progress steadily. I'm confident this will continue to be so for the next few years and when someone starting with DSpace asks which one is better, I recommend them to 1) choose based on features currently available, if there are some UI-specific ones they need 2) if they're going to do more than basic customization, go with the technology they're most familiar with (JSP vs. XSLT). In the future, with Solr and REST API, I foresee that this landscape will become even more diverse with other UIs (maybe task-specific ones, not necessarily full-featured) popping up, written in other popular languages/platforms.
