I found Struts 2 harder to pick up than Struts 1 (from what I remember of learning Struts 1.0). Struts 2 is so much more flexible than Struts 1 and has some rather, well, "interesting", functionality (interceptors, OGNL), that it took me a while to get a handle on it. Once it clicked, though, it paid off because I'm much more productive with it than Struts 1.
