Interesting article...although I mostly disagree with the notion that
using WebMacro is a 'great leap forward' compared to using JSPs and
custom taglibs.
Anyway, what is so special about WebMacro in particular? Why not use
Cocoon, Turbine, Freemarker, OTembo or even ECS? They all offer similar
features and I daresay, some of them are probably better supported than
WebMacro.
