XSLT is a declarative transformation language for tooling, optimization,
and relatively simple tree transformation problems.  It is useful when it
is appropriate, but is not, and should not become, a full programming
language.  If you try to look at it as a programming language, or as a full
transformation language for that matter, it will fall short.  If you look
at it for the problems for which it was designed, it is a very powerful,
useful, and appropriate language.

Just my opinion.

Hello,
I had read this article
http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/07/12/vbasic/vbdevice.html#replace a couple of
days back and
was wondering if people on this group also feel that xslt could replace
traditional programming languages.
I am kindof at my adolescent stage with xslt and am trying to get a better
understanding of how XSLT fits into the whole picture now and ahead.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Srini
