Dear all: We have experience with Cocoon since 2.1.5. We share the "common problem" of learning curve, but we believe it is a great and powerful framework. We have a lot of tools developed with cocoon 2.1.x and now we want to use cocoon 2.2 for a portal and for other services.
Exclusively about XSL, please download the tool from our web site developed with xsl 6 years ago. It is extremely util for our customers.

Who's is wrong and who's right? Or more important: is there such an easy answer? I definitly doubt this. There isn't such a thing as the one programming language that rules the world or the one framework that makes everyone happy and is the golden hammer. Everyone is free to use what he thinks works best for him. Ok, coming back to the original topic :) Looking at the past 9 years where I've been using Cocoon and done a lot of projects with Cocoon and XSLT, I think it was a great tool by the time. And XSLT helped a lot in getting up to speed (once you managed the high entrance barrier to Cocoon itself). There are a lot of use cases still today for XSLT when it comes to create web sites. It really helps to separate the content from the layout. But in the end that's a matter how you design your application. I see a lot of people using other frameworks than Cocoon and pass the output from that framework to XSLT after the framework has rendered the content. So I don't think that XSLT itself is dead. The attraction of Cocoon as a separate framework has decreased, but that's definitly not due to XSLT.
