We've been using XSLT for templates in Trident, which is now dropped in favour of Dolphin 8. Although, XSLT is a nice technology we found that it creates a lot of constrains for developers that aren't proficient in this particular area. This is, for the most part, a bad thing.
AlexT will probably chime in to comment about D8 templates, but AFAIK they're not XSLT-based.
Dolphin 7.1 has the same template engine as 7.0, to keep the compatibility with previous versions. Dolphin 8 has the same template engine too but with some structural changes.

If Dolphin 8 will get rid XSLT, does the forum it will still use XSLT? (I do not even see this module in Dolphin 8).
