I'd say you're missing the reality that things like this often come down to a matter of style or personal philosophy, and no amount of debate or even experience will resolve them one way or the other. I guess the *nix geek permathread on emacs vs vi is the canonical example. I wonder if the XSLT vs XQuery debate will go on for decades, or if in 2015 or so it will be as quaintly moot as the old C vs LISP permathread is today? Well, I really wonder *what* will transcend both XSLT and XQuery to make the debate look quaintly moot in hindsight :-) Anyone want to speculate? (I *know* someone is going to say "LISP" <duck>)
