Uselessly personal, anecdotal tangent:

XSL has forced me, more than any other language, to behave as a
programmer. I would (and could) have lived my life without ever having
to write a Recursive function. Having done so, I've never programmed
anything the same since.

I don't know if it made me program better elsewhere, but it does make you think about data more seriously. You start recognising when data (XML) is poorly structured.

I did a subject in Uni about ray tracing so I had my fair share of recursive functions, and let me tell you, if you have problems with recursive functions in XSLT, it is no barrel of laughs in C++ (with pointers, ugh).
