I don't think management of a development staff was a goal of J2EE :o) It is separation of process and/or skill sets that Struts/MVC provides for. Whether this happens or not is up to people, not software... yes?
The method you refer to in your last paragraph is quite common and works quite well. If someone can do all of the tasks in a large Struts project, they are highly skilled, very experienced and are probably compensated quite well. Struts taglibs, like most all taglibs, are converted in the servlet and HTML equivalents are "emitted" as the browser only understands HTML. Perhaps this is the piece that designers/web developers struggle with. FWIW, graphic design and Java development generally use different parts of the human brain. It isn't to say they are mutually exclusive, just that it is difficult to switch back and forth between these skills.
