No one ever suggested that each developer reinvent the wheel each  
time they build a site. No one is arguing the benefit of Smarty's  
features either. The issue is the alternate syntax and the extra,  
wasteful layer running on top of your site/server. Smarty's concept  
and ability is great, but why isn't it written in and using PHP?
