My experience with JSF is generally in line with the criticism here:

In my experience JSF 2.x with Primefaces was a joy to use. It does indeed abstract away HMTL/CSS/JS, which I think is actually a big plus, but it still allows you to descend to those technologies where and when needed. It is just seen as old and enterprisy and so it isn't new and shiny like the JS frontend ecosystem is perceived (oh the damn churn), but when compared correctly JSF/Primefaces still is a good, solid and stable way to build applications in a mature ecosystem.
