You'll find the same schism in the Perl world with HTML::Template vs.
Template::Toolkit. The former is a very basic templating utility while
the latter is more akin to Smarty.
The argument I used in that situation is that you only have to use as
much [Template::Toolkit|Smarty] as you think appropriate. But if you
every *do* need more powerful features, they're there.
But I still lost the argument.
