Neal, We've been using Struts for about 4 months now. I originally started with 1.0, then went to 1.1b1, and now 1.1b2. The initial learning curve was fairly easy; learning some of the new features of 1.1 has taken some time (some of the new things I haven't even had time to try!). Once you figure out the basics, the rest comes extremely easy. I've been able to take a new programmer (with ZERO experience in web app development), and train her to use the basics of Struts in a couple of days. She has since deployed her first app, and has started on her second - this one will begin to use validator instead of writing custom validation routines. She picked up Tiles without any problems. The hardest thing that I've found is getting new people to remember where to make all of the XML changes that need to be made! (web, struts-config, tiles-config, validator-rules, etc....)
