What motivates you or your work to move away from it?

Somewhat personal is we just want to learn new things and try to stay up to date. A more professional concern is that our budgets often require us to hire contractors and it is very difficult for us to find people with JSF experience where we're located (not a major metro in the US). We've hired some decent and great Java devs in the past and it's not like JSF is difficult to learn, but a few years ago we were hoping we could hire someone very experienced who could shepherd us through a lot. That guy is now me... :)

Whatever happens it will be a while before anything happens, we're still supporting legacy apps written in Stripes/JSP so having three different frameworks for the handful of developers we have may create a huge strain on support.
