Re:  XSLT Dead?
The huge traffic we see on this list, with questions asked by people
seeking help on their live projects, is a testament that XSLT is used
a lot in industry.

One other point I can think is - today enormous amount of data exist
in XML format, which is growing by huge proportions every day. There
is lot of use of XSL-FO these days to transform XML into PDF. This
employs XSLT.

So XSLT is definitely important in IT architect's toolkit.

for it.
Well, in a recent conversation about technologies, one of them goes
for the kill and throws out this doozy:

   I can just sum it up for you:
   <xsl:apply-templates select="DeadTechnology" />


So, is XSLT dead? I guess to put things into context a bit; does the rule which MS has over so many developers, the drag and drop GUI designer and ready made solutions in a box, does this suggest that XSLT is a dying technology?
