I would think that its usage and adoption is directly related to the amount of data encoded in XML...which grows daily.
from a personal perspective I XSLT find myself doing much less XSLT these days...but thats because others now know how to do it (including designers, etc).
.you can tell your friends that there probably won't be an XSLT 3.0 but that XSLT 1 and XSLT 2 will be around for a minimum of 5 years and I would bet on 7 years, with the tailing off from there....by then *****ahem*****we will then have a fully semantic web; by then we will be 'farming code' (my fav meme of 2006) from the web.
My colleagues and I often have discussions about which technologies to use to solve different business needs. Since I am a huge XSLT fan, they know I have a bias for this technology, and they are always, no let me express this properly, they are ALWAYS giving me a hard time for it. Well, in a recent conversation about technologies, one of them goes for the kill and throws out this doozy:
I can just sum it up for you: <xsl:apply-templates select="DeadTechnology" />
So, is XSLT dead? I guess to put things into context a bit; does the rule which MS has over so many developers, the drag and drop GUI designer and ready made solutions in a box, does this suggest that XSLT is a dying technology?
