honestly, your response is too thoughtful. these pointy haired bosses are self-serving. they don't care about training costs or developer pain and they don't really care if their org runs efficiently. what they care about is that if there is a failure, their choice didn't cause it. which is why the old saying goes "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM." same seems to go for struts. an idiotic technology choice, but you won't get fired for making the same idiotic choice everyone else is making.
