Unfortunately, that's like saying if I don't like commons-logging, I

The only reason I could see velocity becoming a barrier to your work with
webwork would be if the dependency forced you to write velocity templates.
It does not. If you never want to touch a velocity template ever with
webwork, you don't have to. But you need the jar file because it is used
behind the scenes for some work. If you're not being forced to use velocity
templates, then webwork shouldn't be forced to remove the dependency on
something it uses for its internals just because you don't happen to like
it.
It sounds to me like you're confused about what the velocity dependency
means. It doesn't mean you don't have a choice in presentation methods,
because you do (Freemarker, JSP, velocity). If you want to use the ui tags,
then you may want to know about velocity to understand the templates or
provide your own. If you don't want to use them, then fine, don't, and
you'll never be forced to even look at a velocity template.

WW1 you can use without velocity, WW2 uses velocity for its UI tag templates. If you don't plan to use the UI tags, you can remove it.
You can use WW2 and just use JSPs and never have to write any Velocity templates. However, Velocity is still there lurking in the dark helping you out.
Ok I'm happy to get velocity in help when I need it, but I don't want to be
forced to do that. You can say siple don't use it. Ok I already doing that.
But we are tolking about ww2 design issues. It has to be clear and if it's
addition, evryone should now that is not ww2 but just another additional
feature. And as I see some people also rising some questions about use of
freemaker instead of velocity. I think I'm not only one person who think in
this way.
Forget about what is already, done, think again is it better to have it as
option or let's say in the core of ww. Try to be objective, don't be inertic
(inertia - I don't know how to write it in english in correct way, I hope
you eill undertand).
