<%! %> puts the contents in class scope, and <% %> inlines the
contents. <% %> is suitable for short-term variable declarations, whereas
<%! %> is perfect for declaring functions and servlet-scope variables.

Okay, I'm lost. Why in the WORLD would you stay away from something that
you say "sometimes you need them?" Proper design is by far the thing to
adhere to, and using <%! %> allows you another tool to acheiving proper
design; there's no reason to go out of your way to avoid the tools JSP
offers you. These things don't reduce threadability, unless you declare a
lot of statics, and even then, sometimes it's useful (if you, um, know
what you're doing.)
