For the last three years I have been using a nice XSLT IDE to write XSLT
code. Without the XSelerator I wouldn't have written probably half of this
code.
As the technology matures we're having a growing number of other very good
XSLT IDEs around -- the one in Visual Studio 2005, Stylus Studio, Oxygen,
..., etc.
With this tendency in mind I predict that in the nearest future
any serious XSLT development that is not based on the use of an XSLT IDE
will be close to zero.
