Yes IE6 is a pain - it is only 6% of the traffic we are seeing (on the holding page) so we decided we could live without it.
We choose tapestry for a whole range of reasons big ones were - Components - the side is heavily component based and we re-use elements across pages - AJAX - we use zones quite a lot and tapestry makes it really easy - Development behaviour - it is easy to develop - fewer application restarts I am going to go into more detail on the skillsmatter talk (shameless plug) - and will post the slides online afterwards..
