[jsr-314-open] An observation on where we should focus attention

[Jim Driscoll]

While the wicket fanboys like to bang on pots and pans and make a lot of 
noise, I think it's important for me to say where I think we should 
really be paying attention -

The following 2 Indeed job trends graphs hopefully make my point:

We can learn a thing or two from wicket, but I'd rather learn from or 
work with technologies that are actually in the process of breaking out, 
or have already had great success.

Just something to keep in mind next time you get a derisive tweet.

P.S.  And that's also a reminder to me that I really need to look at GWT 
again.  And I still have that action item to examine our 
interoperability with jQuery more thoroughly.

P.P.S.  Yes, I think jQuery has won the JS framework wars for the time 
being.  The jobs data backs up my anecdotal experience.  The breakout 
appears to have started about 2 years ago.
