boolean alwaysTrue = WebWork > Struts * 1000;

...but that's just my opinion.
This might help you form your own...

The main difference (IMO) is you can use your model objects (i.e. Hibernate POJOs) in your view with WebWork. With Struts you have to use ActionForms. Struts has better client-side validation support, but WebWork's validation is more full-featured in its expression syntax.

If you want to compare the code needed to develop in Struts vs. WebWork - you could take a look at AppFuse, which has options for using Struts or WebWork (or Spring MVC) as your web framework.

I think in a way Struts is intrusive, requiring you to code something very according to their "spec".
And also, I ahve read a series about MVC taken completely wrong by Struts (but again I cannot remember the links)
