I've been reading about stripes, and its possible pros
It says something like:
1) minimuym external configuration
2) improve the development and testing
what do you know about it?
Do you have any experience with it?

Stripes is pretty good it depends on what you need.
I know that the online store for waitrose (uk supermarket) WaitroseDeliver : Homepage
I haven't personally used it in anger but I have done a couple of spike solutions with it when investigating the correct technologies for several clients and it does seem to be pretty quick to pick up.

I have certainly found it useful for spikes as by sticking to the simple conventions you can avoid quite a bit of config like you would have to do in, say struts.

The best thing I would suggest is setup a really simple web app and have a play with it. That's the best way to find out if it feels right for the solution you are trying to provide.
