Scriptlets are more powerful (you can do ANYTHING Java can do), faster, is a

time learning a new language (${var} == "pooPoo") then you would be better
off learning Java (assuming you don't already know it) cause then you could
do scriptlets and middle tier coding and more whereas if you use your time
learning JSTL all you will know is JSTL.
Believe me, JSTL will be easy to replace if someone comes out with an alternative. I am a programmer but I understand the importance of having the tags be similar to HTML tags and not like tags containing scriptlets.
If it makes you happy $var is a legal Java variable name so you could just write scriptlets with $var and no one would realize you weren't writing JSTL
:)
Why do you think Ant is so popular??? It got rid of all the $var UNIX script like crap and made it more like tags should be!!!!!!!!!!!
What the crap are you talking about.
