I remember all the hype around XSLT when the standard was newly released. All the excitement around being able built an entire HTML UI with a 'simple' transform.
Let’s face it, it is hard to use, near impossible to debug, often unbearably slow. The end result is nearly always quirky and less than ideal.
I will sooner gnaw off my own leg than use an XSLT while there are better ways to do things. Still it has its places, its good for simple transform tasks.
