That's another religious argument.

PHP itself *is* a templating language so there's no need to lump another one
on top of it. People say you need a templating system to abstract out the d=
ata
from the presentation, but that is largely bunk. No matter what, you still
have to have the variable names in the template itself, so nothing is really
saved. So the programmer still has to work with the HTML person, and there's
no real way around it.
