Yes.  Besides me (who wrote Struts in the first place :-), you've seen
responses from at least two other committers.

One of the things that has really surprised me about Struts was how early
the financial services industry worldwide -- whom I've always pictured as
being pretty conservative -- adopted Struts.  I suspect a lot of this
(especially in Europe) had to do with the high degree of emphasis placed
on internationalization.  But, of course, the development process that
stands behind Struts has had to pass muster as well; in this industry and
in many others.

It's also very personally rewarding when a top level IT architect from
a very well know financial services firm (sorry, I don't have explicit
permission to reveal who, but you'd *definitely* recognize the name :-)
come up to you at JavaOne and said they've just adopted Struts as their
standard infractructure for the web applications.

To say nothing of the fact that a large percentage of the development
tools and IDEs in the J2EE space now have Struts support ...
