Hopefully Tomcat 7 will stop copying the context.xml from my first .war deployment and stop remembering that forever (even after the .war or even exploded deployment has long ago been removed). This may be just a little annoyance, but for me had been one of the main reasons to move away from Tomcat.

What did you move to? Just curious. Was it Jetty?

Indeed, Jetty for some pure Servlet based small projects, but it's too early for me to tell whether no different kinds of annoyances will turn up when using Jetty more intensively.
For other projects, we've started a migration to Jboss AS (which, incidentally still uses Tomcat internally). The context.xml annoyance contributed to speeding up that process, but the prime reason for that migration was that we now no longer have to maintain our own combination of jars implementing JPA, JSF, JTA and EJB.
