I had posed a question earlier this week about what makes a 'good' jsp page. I wanted to ask a specific question about the new tag files for JSPs. I think using the new JSP 2.0 tag files over compiled tag libraries is a great thing. It certainly appears to keep things separated when using an MVC setup. It seems to make it much easier for web page maintainers.
Do you think tag files should be used as often as possible to replace tag libraries?
What would a good balance be?
Where would you not want to use the new tag files?
Regards,

Tag files are great for when the primary output of the tags is JSP/HTML. If the tag needs to do a lot of processing, I prefer traditonal Java-based tags.

I was hoping you would chime in Bear. The new tag files just seem like a great idea. Its too bad tags didn't start this way and then evolve into the more advanced tag library setup.
