Oh yes.

It was my biggest problem when learning XSLT and now I know it really
well it turns out it still is: why do I have to remember all that
template? I can't remember passwords let alone NS URIs.

I know I can have a bit of template code but that's not the
point... good editors are not always available when you're doing
things.
