I think the existence of facelets, the motivation behind it, show JSF's failure to deliver on its promise (after so many years!). I haven't looked into Facelets, not that I'm afraid to learn some new "view technology". I just don't want to impose this "bug fix" to people that have already invested time in learning and using JSP pages, with custom tag libraries developed etc (is Facelets backwards compatible with JSP? probably not).

You basically speak about the mixin problems of html and jsf (verbatim tags) this problem is gone in the jsf 1.2 spec, and in facelets, facelets also eliminates problems introduced by jsp...
