Just an interesting note:

According to the Google keyword tool in English speaking countries and 
territories:
 - the number of searches containing the phrase "struts" (-cars) has 
been flat the last 12 months (approx 1,000,000 per month).  I wish I 
could compare that to previous years.
 - this is approximately double the volume of searches containing JSF 
(which is trending upwards)
 - this is approximately triple the volume of searches containing EJB 
(which is trending upwards)
 - rails queries exceeds struts by more than 2 times and trending upwards
 - grails is low but increasing rapidly (50,000)
 - wicket has been relatively steady (135,000)

Unfortunately there's insufficient information for "struts2" or "struts 
2". I also wasn't able to narrow it down to spring-specific technology 
either (but spring certainly is massively popular at 13M searches/month).

What can be drawn from this? Not much in isolation, but based on my own 
behaviour using Google to lookup struts information I'd say there's a 
direct positive relationship between search volume and adoption.  
Combined with trends in occurrences in job advertisements, user-group 
activity and blog-traffic we'd probably get a better idea.

Perhaps it also indicates that struts and spring have more bugs, worse 
documentation or less-skilled developers than the "standard" 
frameworks.  ;-)   But I doubt it.
