 From my point of view the JSP/ASP model is completelly broken. It only
exists because it's easy for programmers, as the result of its conceptual
poorness (does this word exist? =) ).
 JSP provides no way of abstracting logic from style. There's no easy way to
get a consistent user interface (just an "include"? come on!).

 The future is something like Cocoon (from http://xml.apache.org/) ,
although it's not very clear yet how it will turn out to be (XSP? XSLT
extensions?).
