@Voxera truly the reason is I failed an exam twice where you had to combine XML with XSD (Piece of cake) and XSLT (Where they seem to think of something shitty everytime I think I understand it fully). Frustration overall.

Voxera116407y@stijnie2210 well I have been using it for 17 years (a lot less the lats 8 as we have manage to replace most of it) and I had to look up things online even when we used it the most.
It has the benefit of being a standard so there is documentation and the problem it solves is not easy no matter how you twist it so any generic solution will be complex a bit like regex.
Beyond the easiest tasks it grows very complex, like a game of chess ;) -
Voxera116407y@justin-tamblyn Since we used it as a templating solution to generate HTML (we started it around 2000) we replaced it first with razor views and later a custom html templating solution that was better suited for out needs.
I do know know what streamsets is. -
Root824797yI used XSLT once and spent roughly nine hours doing something very simple. I swore that day to never even look at it again.
That was the worst coding experience of my life. And one of the worst headaches. -
@Ashkin I experience it roughly the same way, haha. To make it worse we had to use Eclipse for the transformation for our exam :').

I saw someone rant about XML earlier, but truly the thing that puts me on the edge is XSLT. Who invented that crap.
