You're missing the point of EGL.  JSF is only one of the interfaces EGL 
provides.  Right now I'm working on the rich client stuff - it's 
amazing.  ANd unless you already have significant Web 2.0 JavaScript 
talent, you don't have the same skills as EGL will supply.

If you want to learn every new technology in house and implement it 
yourself, then by all means do so.  But if you want to concentrate on 
business logic and leave the plumbing to IBM, then EGL is worth a look.
