Note however that there is no JSTL equivalent for most of the Struts
HTML taglib... the Struts HTML tags are Struts-aware, i.e., will
automatically pull data from your form beans to populate the fields...
JSTL can't do that automatically.

Aside from the HTML taglib, Laurie is of course right, you'll find JSTL
pretty well provides what the other Struts taglibs do, and more.
