That's true. I fully agree.

The increased use of JSON etc. is just my observation and not my position.

I don't know what tools those people have in mind. My colleagues for 
example suggested to use Thymeleaf to generate e-mails from raw data. 
The previous solution was to generate XML, transform it via XSL/T to 
HTML and an in-house markup format from which plain text is generated, 
thus allowing rich and customizable e-mails. I am curious how far they 
will get with their approach...
