I work for a software development company and we develop Web-based
custom enterprise systems. We've been using Spring for a year and
we're very happy with it.
All our developers are pretty good in Struts, therefore I personally
still don't see a big reason why we should switch to JSF. However, I
was in JavaOne last week and it's no secret that there's a lot of
interest in JSF. I think the market will quickly grow with more and
more tool support and component vendors. I, personally, am going to
keep a close eye on JSF and jump in the wagon when it's the right time
for us. There's a chance that the next time we get a small project, we
can use JSF.
By the way, JSF and Struts are different. JSF is a component/event
based technology whereas Struts is request based. AFAIK, JSF doesn't
have a great navigation support but when it's used with Spring, this
gap can be filled by Spring WebFlow. Have a look at JSF Central:

My 2 cents,
