I've got a lot of experience with JSP/Servlets and Weblogic, and now with Tomcat and Apache. I've found it to run extremely well, and really wasn't that hard to install. What I like about it is the price. In fact, Tomcat makes we wonder why we paid such an exorbitant amount for Weblogic originally. I was surprised to hear all of the negative comments.
I've found that having the source is excellent for knowing how the foundation classes are implemented, and for learning more advanced Java. Javadocs are really nice, but they don't explain how the data is actually stored inside the class, for instance. I think this is important for optimization.
Also, the source isn't included with the JDK that you download. It's a seperate download (at least that's how I did it).

I don't understand why for Jon, depressed/different/misunderstood == geek. Maybe some of those people are geeks, but is it by definition?
