In real life usually *do* code the redirects by hand. Reading this discussion was the first time I'd actually thought of using them for that.
However, using the actions has one advantage. Compare:
<logic:forward name="welcome" />
to
<jsp:forward page="/welcome.do" />
These are mostly equivalent, except that the second explicitly contains the controller's extension mapping. This is information that we would like to encapsulate if possible. The first version does that nicely.
I admit that this is a minor nit to pick..
