It is not a misconception to some of us who happen to think the convience aspect of the tags packaged with the controller is the reason to use struts. I also am of the opinion that a big reason struts is popular is that the 'packaging' is correct, i.e. it has enough features in one place so that by itself it makes a difference. Not everyone wants to roll there own.
