I have good memories of using XSLT. It was a neat idea at the time.

I suppose the world has nearly moved away from XML (for browsers, not yet for folks still enjoying SOAP APIs). And as a result, XSLT has fallen into obscurity.

XML is still used for various formats like RSS (podcasts), SVG, sitemaps, and EPUB metadata (OPS).

XSLT is still used on the server back-end for rendering publisher documents (JATS, etc.) and for things like US bills.
