1. WebWork decouples your controller logic from your view, and Actions can be reused outside a web context. JSF is all about the view, and ties your code in as basically event handlers for your UI. It's kind of like VB in this sense. Yes, you CAN build reusable and decoupled application pieces in VB/JSF, but it's not built that way from the start.
2. WebWork (1.3) is a shipping, production quality framework. JSF is probably 3-4 months from being released. WebWork2 is probably 1-2 months from being generally available. 3. JSF will require a whole new way of building web applications. Your pages won't have any HTML in them, just JSF tags which include other components, which will render themselves (last time I looked, the renderers wrote out HTML via out.println() statements... Yuck). I think JSF has some interesting ideas. I'm worried about performance in JSF (a server roundtrip for every radio-button group selection?) and tieing business logic into your view. I prefer Xwork's completely web-agnostic command pattern, myself. It's still on my Jira issues to build a JSF/Xwork bridge, like Craig has for Struts, but that's probably a ways off.
