Hello Ken, There's definitely a lot of activity in the JSF world, and it's used by a lot of large and smaller companies (see http://www.javaserverfaces.org/ for a list of sites built using JSF or Seam under "JSF in Production"). There are a variety of industries, but it's quite popular in Finance (banks and insurance companies).
In terms of active development, you can just look at the recent releases to see there's a lot going on. It's worthwhile also to point out that Trinidad is used as the foundation for all of the Oracle Fusion applications. What sort of application is your startup intending to build with MyFaces? --- Kito D.
