The first? I don't think so - though you might be one of the first to throw
rotten tomatoes without saying why.
On the whole, my experience is that most people find the transition to 2.0 a
pretty painless one, with the benefits well exceeding the costs. If you have
a different experience, please share it. It's too late now to affect the
outcome, but it's still useful to assess how good a job we did.
The first-item rule in XSLT/XPath 1.0 was one of the features that caused
the largest number of user errors, in my experience. I think a lot of people
have been really pleased to see it go.
