I think PHP is very capable of doing anything a template engine does.  When
I was first introduced to PHP, I reviewed code examples (some from expensive
books) that had PHP coed embedded in HTML.  Because of years of structured
programming languages, I almost gave up on it then.  It looked hideous and
didn't seem like much thought was put into doing it that way.  Fortunately,
I also reviewed many other code examples (many from this list) that showed
what PHP could really do.  At that point I decided to use PHP to output all
HTML in all of my coding.  I have never been involved in a project big
enough to have separate designers.  But it's easy for me to choose a design
I like and then make PHP output the HTML.  And it's all in PHP.  I have
never been able to justify the overhead of a template engine in what I've
done so far.

My humble $.0s.
