One can make a case that when a team of developers uses JSP in the context of the entire Java EE stack, it gets certain advantages that outweigh the overhead of developing and maintaining all of JEE’s moving parts. My last experience with JEE was pretty horrific (portlets! Java Faces! madness!), so I am not eager to try this again, but at least an argument can be made in favor of JEE for certain applications. If you take away the rest of the stack and are just using JSPs... why bother? I have found a certain comfort zone using Django and I’m not going to switch to a different framework or language just because it’s possible; I would want to know why that alternative gives me a significant advantage over what I’m doing now.
