[OT] web site idea (was Value of Struts)

[Robert McIntosh <ro...@bull-enterprises.com>]

I read everyone's responses to Gene Campbell's question and I think 
there should be a place on the Struts website (maybe a wiki or 
something?) where all of these good folks who responded to him could put 
  up their "Why I love Struts" comments. I know I have to answer this 
question often to clients and other developers and it would be nice to 
say "Go to the struts website and look at page 'Why I love it'" or 
whatever.

Promoting Struts is often difficult since it is open source and there is 
that fear amongst the management (generally) about open source stuff. 
Never mind that there are 5 (6?) books on struts alone, it has one of 
the largest followings in open source Java, is in production is some 
major companies, etc. The one thing I usually say to a manager type is 
"IBM uses it for the admin on WebSphere". Throwing in that big name 
usually helps...

-1.

My philosophy is under promise over deliver.
If you put this on a site, than someone's mileage may vary.
Then when you get on a client's site it will be "how come we didn't have 
  xyz here?"
