I'd say a comparable new piece of technology is AngularJS + HTML + CSS with JSON as the data format. In the end you're still transforming an easily-exchanged data format to a visual display, but with all of the new things that come with Web 2.0 and the thick client model.

It still can't turn a pile of XML into a pile of PDFs though, so XSLT is definitely king in some arenas.
