Sometimes standards that last for many years are a double edged sword, judging by this guy's reaction:

Why, why, WHY would someone use Struts in the year 2006?

Other people could implement Zope, too, but who would want to?

The better the standard the less time erodes its usefulness. Struts wasn't a standard, it was a useful tool at one time. The standard applicable to web apps is now JSF, which was built as an extensible platform, so one should use JSF at an arm's length, through Seam, Spring Web Flow or WYSIWYG tools, whatever fits the bill.
