I hate to promote my own site (http://theexceptioncatcher.com http://theexceptioncatcher.com) but I found that it made it a lot easier to separate the design of the site from the content. Most of my websites rarely ever change, so having a dynamic site is over kill. XSLT/XML helps to keep it as a static site, and I have the opportunity to change/fix the design at will.
