Spring, Struts, Hibernate and maybe EJB3 are the most popular Java frameworks/libraries these days and you don't have to know Struts to learn Spring!

I hear Struts has been popular, and would be one of the frameworks to learn, but does anyone know if learning Struts2 is more valuable/important.

Yes, Spring+Hibernate+Struts2 (not Struts) is worth to learn

It's worth noting that while Struts 1 had a large market share in its time, Struts 2 doesn't have anywhere near as much. Many more frameworks are available and in use today, and it's unlikely that any particular one will become as widely used as Struts 1 was.

This is I think just a time matter. As yes that there are so many frameworks for the same purpose, some frameworks could never get momentum. But Struts2 is a different case. Do you think any reasons behind the fact that Struts creator decided to merge with Webwork to become Struts2? Struts2 is almost 90% based on webwork

Why? I rather think that Struts 1 was the special case, since there were hardly any other frameworks when it became popular; it's very different today - Struts 2 is not the default choice for new projects in the way Struts 1 was. And not every project that used Struts 1 will upgrade to Struts 2 because of their substantial differences.

Some people have posted the comparison here http://www.java-samples.com/showtutorial.php?tutorialid=200 so it is not necessary to debate on the advantages of the 2 versions of Struts. As the one who used to use both Struts1 and Struts2, I feel very comfortable with Webwork (Struts2). Yes, ones can still use Windows 98 while others enjoy their life with XP and Windows 7.

Not sure what you mean by the comparison with Windows. I thought it was quite clear that I'm not advocating the use of Struts 1 any more. But neither am I advocating that people use Struts 2 without looking at the alternatives. Nor am I saying that Struts 2 isn't an improvement over Struts 1, but with all the other frameworks out there, that's not saying much.
