Surely, I speak from the developer's perspective. With simple mapping
tools available in the market now which can generate you mappings, you
really need not know all the nitty gritties of XSLT at all for most
common business use cases.
There seem to be two kinds of developers, those who get on with visual
tools, and those who don't.
Personally, I can never remember what all the symbols on the diagrams
actually mean: I find textual keywords much easier to remember. I've tried
three or four mapping tools that generate XSLT, and when I've tried to
achieve anything beyond a one-to-one element-to-element transformation I
have got hopelessly bogged down. But other people seem to like them so it
must just be me.
