Hey! I'm a self taught amateur too! (Actually, I'm not sure who isn't).
I think XSLT is quite good for non-programmers, it's programmers with some experience of other things that find it really difficult I've found.
If I had 10pence for the number of times I've seen a programmer try to do something imperative in XSLT and get really, really, cross with it.
Cheers, Wendell
