Has it lost its sheen in the battle which comprises the likes of Struts itself, JSF, GWT, Wicket, Tapestry, Echo etc?
Is it less innovative than the other frameworks out there or is it silently making inroads without any hype?
What do you think?

Is Struts still immensely popular?Round 2002/2003 I remember that all the tenders I saw proposed Struts based development. But I didn't see any in 2007.

Re: Is Shale shading away?
I use Shale's JSF mock objects on a regular basis.I don't think comparing Shale to Struts is comparing apples to apples.
Shale is used to augment JSF while Struts is its own deal.
In addition, there are 20 different frameworks that build on top of JSF so Shale has a lot of competition.
I don't know if it is dead or active. Shale does not seem to be on of the leading JSF extentions/frameworks (opinion). Seems there is a lot more buzz around Seam and Web beans.
