They don’t want to because they don’t see any bright future for the technology even if it’s better maintained. XML/XSLT isn’t trendy anymore, nobody is building new apps on it. It is never going to win market share from react - it’s too baroque and dated.

Not sure what React has anything to do with this.

XSLT was pretty much never used as a rendering platform but for XML-data processing.

As JSON became the standard of API communication in early 2000s (less powerful, but also much less verbose and easier to manipulate in JS) XSLT became less relevant.

Parent comment mentioned react, I can sorta see the comparison if you squint. But I disagree with their assertion that a better maintained XSLT could compete.

		I missed it. In any case, I'm not sure I agree with you, while JavaScript and CSS are composable out of the box HTML really lacks a native, fully declarative, composable way to build documents.
