Designer friendly views - simpler tags and .html files?

[eluser]Rok Biderman[/eluser]
After trying several others, I'm using http://parser.comper.sk/en/. You can configure it to use html, not tpl, the whole structure can stay the same (except maybe the tpl folder, but even that can be changed), tags are {supereasy} plus it supports includes, cycles, conditionals, so you can easily use one header file to rule them all. If you use HMVC you can still use your views as originaly indended in your controller, you just put "true" as the third parameter and pass it as a string.

I still takes some to dissect the html into parts, but it's by far the easiest solution in CI to include the work of another designer i've met so far. I use Git, so the designer can make further changes, create additional themes, without the need to master CI and without my own involvement.

I've extensively tried Phil's library (doesn't do what i expected it to, might have used it the wrong way?) as well as williamsconcepts.com template (i like this one, but i dislike it not being supported and maintained), but I'm always eager to hear other suggestions.
