I mean, I've used XSLT plenty in my career and I honesty don't have any issues with it at a high level. It's essentially just another templating format with the added benefit of being a markup language itself and being rendered directly by browsers without adding any JS.

So, I think perhaps you are confusing me with the person further up in the thread. They said "don't use a SPA". You replied with a counter argument about JS. Then *I* pointed out someone else in the thread demonstrating using XML+XSLT to to client-side rendering and I called out people using SPAs to dynamically render what is essentially a static website. So "Your take is getting more and more uncharitable" seem to assume that the GP and myself are the same, and we are not.

Your last line seems overly aggressive and confrontational. I have zero desire to engage with that.

All that being said, have a wonderful day.
