Vaadin wasn't known as Vaadin back then and really was not that popular until post 2009 or even later.
And no Millstone and IT Mills toolkit (Vaadin's old name) are not serious contenders when Struts 2 came out.
Considering Struts 2 came out with lots of hype and went out of favour very very quickly, I would say the peak of Struts 2 hype did not overlap with when Vaadin started getting popular.
Ok... unless you are talking about really really really stupid people who still chose Struts 2 after 2010. I think it
Back then even staying on struts 1 was smarter than going with struts 2 which is a completely different framework and not a version upgrade.
People blindly jumped on Struts 2 because there was a time where everyone used Struts 1. Because.... hey who would want to have an iPhone 6 when an iPhone 7 is already out? It's so passe!
Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging.
Don't have aesthetic convulsions when using them, either.

I acknowledge that it's not for everyone, but I'm really enjoying Vaadin [vaadin.com] right now.

Vaadin came out much later than struts 2 so you can't say they deserve it for not choosing Vaadin.

You precisely said "came out". You are just changing words to make it sounds like you were correct all along when you were not. Typical selfish moron

Back then Spring MVC was already available. It survived much better because they kept things simple.
