<snip type="inevitable love/hate circular debate"/> I was going to stay quiet on this one (still don't know why I am now joining in). I am finding XSLT & XML to be a good alternative to normal templating techniques. One of the biggest benifits I've found is being able to generate the one data set and have it rendered in different ways for different applications. I presume this is possible in TT2. H::T has the drawback of only allowing substitutions for tags defined in the template. Changing the template to render say a reduced set of data typically involves changing code. I'm also free to choose my transformation platform, using something like XML::LibXML or Saxon on the server side, or just throwing it straight to the user and letting their browser take care of the rest. Don't think DW jockeys will like the XSLT, but I'm fortunate in not having to deal with them.
