Hi, IMHO on countries that invest heavily on R&D (new technologies) like Germany, Netherlands, UK, USA, etc Wicket market is growing... and you can find lots of Jobs posts asking for Wicket versed programmers.. See
http://www.indeed.de/Jobs?q=Wicket&l= http://www.indeed.nl/Wicket-vacatures http://www.indeed.fr/emplois?q=Wicket&l= http://www.indeed.co.uk/jobs?q=Wicket&l= compare to http://www.indeed.es/ofertas?q=Wicket&l= :-( As many other OpenSource projects its development depends largely on volunteers and on companies willing to pay back with "employee time" for maintenance/documentation. etc. So, there is no point on comparing with frameworks backed by big players or "well established" frameworks. At least in Spain my experience is that: 1- "I do not risk my ass" decision makers are a big obstacle for adoption: they just want to hear about "big names backed software" or at least well know/established software... so that, if development ins't going as planned, it is not a problem of the framework selected. 2- Many programmers comming from Struts like frameworks background have big problems in caching up with OOP required for Wicket and the "Wicket way". 3- Lack of a unified "place" where to find free/well-supported "commercial quality" components doesn't help either when you want to sell wicket.
