Look, this discussion every time again is getting old. It has been stated many times before: the difference between Wicket and many other frameworks is that Wicket's URL are 'safe' *by default*; if you want them to be public (bookmarkable), you have to be explicit about it. With other frameworks, you have to do something extra to make the URL's secure. Imo, and certainly for the desktop-like apps I'm building, the safe by default option is better. For public facing, open apps, this might be inconvenient. But it is not much work to make pages bookmarkable, and we're still working (Matej had some cool ideas) to improve URLs so that even non-bookmarkable pages are recoverable to some extend. However, Wicket will be a safe by default framework in future too. If that's something that is problematic for you, you can always consider using another framework. But you'll find there is always something *not* to like about a framework.
