I like them for the mere fact that they limit what you can do. I know that sounds sort of wacky, but they streamline where you are going with JSP pages so that you don't end up all over the place with too much non-display logic showing up. Also, they help out getting paths and other application dependent variables down to the view. But I guess we could easily go back and forth on it, so let's save our breathe for some other stuff. I highly recommend adding the string library to your application though, it really is helpful in many ways.
