[Wicket-user] Wicket versus Echo

[Frank Silbermann]

I was browsing some of the framework comparisons on the web and realized that though Wicket is in key ways most similar to Echo.  Yet, very little has been written to contrast these two.  The one difference that I can ascertain is that Wicket exposes the underlying html whereas Echo completely hides the html from the developer.  What are some of the implications of this difference that would make Wicket better than Echo?  (I dislike html, so that’s a point for Echo, but maybe access to the html is sometimes necessary – which would be a point for Wicket).   What other differences are there?
