Is JAX-RS suitable as a MVC framework?

JAX-RS has some MVC support, but I wonder if JAX-RS is really a good choice to build web application for human use.

learning a different platform independent web framework or relying on asp.net in mono for the near future?

Hi SO. I'm somehow familiar with the ASP.NET MVC and the .NET framework in general (I use it at work). I've been thinking about starting a personal project (a website).
