Wow you got negged so hard, likely by people that have never really written XSLT code.
I have and I've always hated it. I still to this day will never touch an IBM DataPower appliance, though I'm more than capable because of XSLT.
They (IBM) even tried to make it more appealing by allowing Javascript to run on DataPower instead of XSLT to process XML documents.
It's a crap language designed for XML (which is too verbose) and there are way better alternatives.
Javascript and JSON won because of their simplicity. The Javascript ecosystem however (nodejs, npm, yarn etc) are what take away from an otherwise excellent programming language.
