I agree that Stripes is an excellent framework. However, I also believe it needs better marketing. It's virtually unknown because there aren't that many articles, books or blogs posted about it. I've tried to sell it to companies on my last two projects and it's often shunned because no one has heard of it. Also, there's no "poster child" application that proves it's a great framework for a large-scale deployment.

I definitely like it and would prefer to use it when developing an application that needs a request-based framework. However, it's been very difficult to convince companies that it's a good idea.

More and more, I'm seeing Spring MVC chosen by companies because they are already using Spring in the middle-tier or backend. It's unfortunate, but I can also understand the justification behind it.

I know Stripes is young but its really solid. However, it doesn't
hardly get a blip on the "which framework" radar. I think this is
primarily because it's not a component framework. (thanks God).
Example, it was left off Matt Raible's latest blog entry:

I thought about leaving a comment but I don't really see the point. I'm
content to keep using it regardless of mass appeal. I just hope that
there are enough folks that feel the same way so that it keeps being
developed. What I don't understand is why other developers think that
convoluted monolithic beasts like Seam and Wicket are supperior? And
what's up with GWT being on that list as a Web Framework? It's a client
side rendering engine. Same with Flex and OpenLazslo. You can't
develop anything without server side code which neither frameworks
provide. Oh well.
