The new Java EE 8 MVC (JSR 371) is planning to use facelets as the view technology for MVC.
Is it a bad idea to use facelets with Spring MVC? e.g. https://github.com/acichon89/springmvcfacelets
There seems to be almost no support for this online yet there is a huge community of JSF Facelets users and it will be supported in JSR 371 so not sure why Facelets gets no love from the Spring community.
Personally I find the thymeleaf syntax more difficult to read and I have zero interest in natural templating and much prefer the facelets decorator approach.
