Regarding this issue, I use Smarty for everything because it simplifies
my development of dynamic websites, and reduces management time as well.

However, I recently started a new job and they use Xtemplate. In
speaking with one of the other developers, it appears that their
argument for Xtemplate is that it is a pure display layer without any of
the logic that Smarty has. Their view is that Smarty fails to fully
seperate business logic from the presentation layer.

It's like they are saying that any logic in the presentation layer is
bad. I really disagree, but I was wondering if others on this list can
help me come up with some arguments for my Smarty advocacy program.
