First let's be very clear.

It's *not* about "market share".

Struts does not need market-share to survive. All we need is a community of developers 
who use the product and want to help support it. How many downloads we realize isn't 
important. Whether 90% or whether 10% of shipping applications use Struts isn't 
important. What's important is that Struts works well for the people who do want to 
use it, and that those people want to do the work to make it better.

Of course, if we all find that JSF does most of what we all need, and we want to use 
it in our own applications, then Struts will quickly become whatever other JSF 
components we need to ship our own applications. But so long as products like JSF 
leave out components that real-life applications need, there will always be a Struts. 
From the beginning, it's always been about providing axles between the wheels that 
Java already has.
