I have tried it, and the only thing that jumps out at me is the ability to use regular expressions to break apart badly marked up data. Otherwise, most of what I do can be well handled by XSLT 1.
XSLT 2.0 has lot of other features apart from regular expressions. For e.g. for-each-group (a newcomer now doesn't need to learn a complicated Muenchian grouping algorithm. it's also very scalable), rich data typing (tightly integrated with XML Schema, which has many benifits), a very huge function library, and quite a few more benifits.
Saxon I can only make work with a bunch of annoying Java classpath voodoo. That's enough extra pain for using XSLT 2 for simple jobs, that I'm far less inclined to do so.
Using Saxon just requires setting saxon8.jar in the classpath. Xalan-J requires setting xalan.jar. So complexity of using Saxon is same as Xalan.
