Can you give more context? Are you saying that the 'programmers' of
the future will be using GUI/drag drop to create web applications? If
so, its kinda like I've been transported to the year 1996, and someone
is posting whether HTML will be dead because of tools like
Dreamweaver.

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?
