I have only ever used XSLT 1.0 in practice. This is partly because (as previously mentioned) there is a lack of open XSLT 2.0 processors available, especially on Linux. However the main reason is that I don't see a compelling reason to use the features of XSLT 2.0, which appear to be primarily centred around support for XSD datatypes. If you use XSLT for publishing or content management rather than for enterprisey typed data manipulation in PSVIs, 1.0 is quite sufficient.
