Hi Srini, FOP has nothing to do with XSLT at all. XSLT just happens to be the recommended way to generate XSL-FO which is what FOP is designed to convert to PDF. Packages such as iText, for example, can be used to create PDF by hand, but then you're going from standard to proprietary solutions. You can also use a reporting engine such as Crystal Reports or JasperReports. It all depends if you want to use XSL-FO or not.
There are also alternatives to XSLT: Velocity: http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/ FreeMarker: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=20015 XPathScript: http://axkit.org/docs/xpathscript/guide.dkb more by googling... ...but that doesn't spare you from designing templates by hand. If a GUI design tool is important to you and the FO editors on the market don't fit your needs, popular reporting tools are probably your best alternative.
