Is JSF the best choise for web projects?
I think NO. It is not simple to create rich web interface by standart UI Componets.
I have to spend a lot of time in order to build what I need. If I need more specific interface I need to create my own. But I have to create 3 Java classes (UIComponent, JSP Tag class, Renderer) + 1 *.tld.
I think it is terrible! Is unlikely to reuse my UIComponent in another projectts,
For me is the most simple to create any UI with help of Struts TAGS + HTML.
Why I need to use JSF? Your opinion?

Use JSF if your app really needs a "rich" client.
If it doesn't, by all means stick with Struts and HTML. If the extra complexity isn't buying your clients something they care about, then don't use it.
JSF came about because folks wanted "rich" clients. HTML UIs weren't enough. I guess you're not one of them.
