hihi all, just want to add my 2 cents
i think it's simply a time issue. if i had time, naturally i'd like to evaluate all possible choices before deciding which framework to use. but given the amount of framework spin-offs we have these days, it's a luxury not many ppl will have. think about a new java web app developer starting out right now. with all the choices he/she faces, can you blame them for asking "which is most popular?". going with the flow is a natural response when individuals don't have the time to thoroughly investigate all the frameworks to come to their own decision. and even if someone did take the time to investigate all frameworks for their particular project, it would not surprising that their opinion may change later on. evaluating frameworks thoroughly is not a trivial task, you need to spend the time to really discover the strengths/weaknesses for any project of reasonable size. choice is good. sure. but i also think there's confusion when there is so many ways to do the same thing. this is the irony that will always be there. i think feeling 'overwhelmed' would be a safe assumption for anyone starting out right now. woodchuck --- Alex Kravets <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well I think 70% is a little bit too much > http://www.manageability.org/polls/what-is-the-best-java-web-framework > > Accroding to latest "market share" reportring (by Raible) Struts > is > like 70% of market share.
