I do not disagree with your opinion VIncent, but I think you miss at least one important use case. In the extension we talk about recently, that is coded in Java and Groovy outside of wiki pages, we use code in velocity to do work that consist in customization of the main purpose. For exemple, creating forms, with validation, customizing livetables, etc... And I see no reason not the have the best tools available there. The idea is that these codes are more like content than API, and more easy to tune and access for those who use our extension.
