title: apache tiles vs custom tagx ("fragment")
body: <p>Why do anyone needs tiles if same effect could be achieved with simple custom tags with "fragment" attribute?</p>
  
  <p>Tags even have several advantages over tiles:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Only result pages are ".jspx". Includes are ".tagx" files so you distinguish clearly pages and includes. Nobody wants to include the whole page into another in real project.</p></li>
  <li><p>You need less libraries</p></li>
  <li><p>All IDEs have JSP support but not all of them supports tiles. Idea has no such support  (except buggy outdated plugin which does nothing actually).</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Why do you choose tiles? How does it help you?</p>
