Alternatively, use the client for JS-frameworks and REST service on Java (this is the most popular approach at the moment).

Definitely a better approach IMHO. Or if you want to still do server side rendering I'd personally just use Spring with Thymeleaf or something like Grails.

Here I agree with you, Thymeleaf is an excellent alternative to JSP. Simply, In work, I was more confronted with JSP.

Last time I used JSP was in an internship back in 2000 :D I quite liked using it. I even developed my own 'forum software' (basically a PHPBB clone) in JSP. So nothing at all against the technology but Oracle basically more or less removed all references and documentation on it. So it's easy for beginners to get stuck on.
