Version 2.0 (current version is 2.1). Apparently upgrading is not trivial (due to Spring framework or whatever... I don't know, I'm not familiar with the Java stack).

You mention an example where JSP fares best; there are a lot of examples that don't come out looking too great though, such as time/date/decimal conversion, the obnoxious syntax for if/else, etc. A lot of Django's other filters just don't exist in JSP.

But that aside, there are larger scale issues -- composition of templates via blocks in Django/Jinja, which is a lot easier and more flexible than Apache tiles; the lack of auto-escaping in JSP; and the forced XML syntax, even at the expense of valid HTML (see what it does to script includes or empty divs, without a <!-- --> in between).
