I have to agree on this one.  Frankly, I found XSLT itself to be fairly 
easy to learn, once I got into it.  And thinking declaritively in 
general wasn't a problem.  It's figuring out how to pull data out 
properly that is the problem, vis, XPath.  I HATE XPath. :-)  I don't 
know how universal this is, but XPath is always the part of any XSLT 
script that gives me the most hassle, every single time.

When you think of XML do you think

<Tag1>
        <Taga>
                <Tagc/>
                <Tagb>Some Text</Tagb>
                <Tage/>
        </Taga>
        <Tag2/>
        <Tag3>Some more Text</Tag3>
</Tag1>

or some thing like.

                        -  (Tagc)
           -  (Taga) -  (Tagb) - ("Some Text")
(Tag1)          -  (Tage)
           -  (Tag2)
           -  (Tag3)  - ("Some more Text")
