A good way to know about the usage of the development frameworks is to look at the job positions offered asking for knowledge on it. Indeed.com allows you to look through the history of job offers by keyword so you can have an idea of the evolution of the job demand.

The guys from the Spring Team have compared the evolution of positions asking for “java and spring” vs “java and ejb”. The growth of Spring positions is amazing, and gives an idea of how well the IT industry is adquiring this open source framework. EJB have not decreased, however I think it’s a matter of time, because the flexibility of the Spring framework and the large set of plugins to connect to other frameworks is a pro that is convincing even the more old-school project managers.
