Ditto. I don't use it myself because of the extra complexity Jesse mentioned
of a) learning the syntax, and b) need for XML intermediaries.

FYI - from the Jakarta Velocity project, Geir Magnusson created a util so
that if you DO have XML data (for example, the entire jakarta.apache.org
website), it can be converted using the template engine (with a simpler
syntax) rather than directly using XSL-T.

One of the chaps that uses XSL-T said, "Woo hoo! I never have to look at
xslt ever again in my life! The pain and suffering in the world has been
reduced an order of magnitude :-) Geir you rock!"

On the flip side, I know another developer chap who uses XSL-T and is quite
likes it, but then he's a java engineer type - not an HTML/template/gui
person.

My 2cents -
  Although I wouldn't choose it personally - if folks want/need to use
XSL-T, they should be able to do so in the CGI::Application framework. The
flexibility to use various view components with CGI::App will I'm certain,
garner it more popularity. :-)

Cheers,
Tim
