We are using a template language dedicated to model browsing. So, 
navivation and manipulation are easier with this tree-like syntax 
(exemple : iterate over a collection or go into a nested element are 
natural).
It is design to keep target source code easy to read and to maintain.

Acceleo is ready for production use. It can be deploy on industrial 
environnment and can easily be use to provide industrialisation based on 
models to any technologies. Its primary goal isn't to strictly apply a 
specification, but to find concret solutions to provide glue between 
differents technologies.
I also think that Acceleo has an easy-to-learn syntax, directly based on 
EMF and metamodels.
