That was the general impression I got. Repeaters. Harder to grasp, but
better overall.
I didn't know they indexed by id. Sweet.
I have the "Pro Wicket" book. For the most part I thought it was well
written. The section on ListView, however, brought on a level of confusion
that almost landed the book on the other side of the room. I think it needs
a diagram or two. The interaction between the list model, list elements,
ListItem callback, and the page are bit tough to grasp and are generally
unlike most everything else out there. If not in theory, at least in how
they're coded.
I was just turning back to the project as your message came in, so the
timing couldn't be better. Hopefully I can sort out the repeater concepts
without too much pain.
Thanks,

Lately, we are encouraging people to use components from the repeater
packages rather than ListView and friends. They might be a little bit
harder to grok at first, but they allow for better flexibility when it
comes to which items are used when (e.g. backed by an ID rather than
the index). See the 'repeaters' example in the wicket-examples
project.
