Tags are great for a variety of things. Stripes layouts are (to me) really like "super tags". One of the main qualitative improvements over tag files is that a layout component can be a whole bunch of JSP (including, once and I hope again soon, more invocations of layouts :-)
To me the use of nested layouts is a simplification, not a complication. I use a surrounding layout for the overall page, and then when there are common page components that call for more than what a tag or (ick) a jsp include can do, I use more layouts. It makes it much easier to manage site-wide changes. On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 3:59 PM, Moritz Petersen <moritz.peter...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you everyone for the constructive replies.
