What do you mean by "dead"? That no developer will use it or that no supplier will make XSLT available? Or something else?
Dead, as in there are better technologies to explore, like off the shelf solutions, a custom calendar control for example.
I, the XSL enthusiast I am, would think WAY different than a .NET solution available for purchase. If tasked with "give the user a calendar so he/she can pick a date from", well knowing what I know about XML/XSL, I'd opt to write my own and pre-gen the data for the calendar as XML, probably using C# to dynamically write the XML out for the transformation. But you see, my solution would almost always include XML and an XSL transformation which is opposite of the developer looking for a solution already written for .NET.
I would like ALL opinions. I myself, have made the concious choice to avoid the MS .NET gui path. I have made the choice to use XML and XSL where ever I can.
They are looking for the precanned solution. Its purchase vs. build, and they are opting to purchase.
How does a "drag and drop GUI designer" relate to a result-tree construction process based on multiple XML inputs in a declarative construction-rule stylesheet?
They don't. It is a shift in thinking. Much like the calendar example above, I make the concious choice to think results (solutions) in XML and XSL.
