Is Spring WebFlow worth the trouble?

This post begs to be fleshed out, and I hope to return and do so. The question is: Is Spring WebFlow really worth all the trouble? It's a nice abstraction, but does it save time? I'm not so sure. For one, there's no OpenSessionInViewFilter pattern in WebFlow.

A work colleague pointed out that WebFlow saves you from writing a lot of controller code for transitioning from screen to screen. Also, it aims to solve the "back button" problem and related issues.
