Well, I have used it a bit and found it very limited. The lack of 
automatic error checking in both XSLT and XPath syntax, the lack of info 
tags for each and every XPath/XSLT function or instruction, the 
inability to switch processors and the inability to debug are enough 
reasons for me to not consider it. There are several tools available 
that can do all that and more, are cheaper, and support XSLT 2.0.

Dreamweaver has its pros, of course, but I believe XSLT editing is not 
among them. But then again, it is all a matter of taste.
