I know what you are saying, and I do agree. But... My point is that, there are a lot of big/excellent backers/committers to JSF/Shale. That for me is the driver and a good indicator of where the technology will go given time and the work of the committers. It could all go horribly wrong of course (3DFX as an example or fingers crossed the xbox360 in Japan ;) ) but time will tell, and I can wait. As Frank said, we have the tools to do what we need regardless of JSF "eventual" success or failure (or in predicted spite of it). Nice reply in the other thread btw Frank thanks, shame it got hijacked with ranting.

This is the same for any technology, it's just that J2EE spawns acronyms like a demon-possessed bunny because it HAS to to survive and even _approach_ usability. I personally simply don't have the time to "get familiar" with all the latest acronyms, and the vast majority of sites I work on simply won't benefit from almost every J2EE acronym/technology I run across. As an off-topic example, I left a decent game programming position because I thought spending a year working on a 3DO project would be a waste of time as I felt the technology would die. Remember the 3DO? Exactly: good choice. (Although JSF has a WAY better chance of survival than the 3DO ever did :) Should I worship every god/dess just in case they're the one/many true One/s?
