It's related to how work is done in many cases over here. We've got some
guys doing frontend work, which is html, css as well as js, dhtml. It
would be good if they have some easy language they can use, that's why I
like xslt, it's easy, and it does not contain to many features. Right
now, those people are used to markers and subparts, others are putting
in. Slowly they start doing that themselves, while they are not supposed
to get as deep as into TYPO3 as the TYPO3-pros. Of course there are
projects as well, where the same people implement the whole thing. In
this case, it doesn't matter really.
