Nice article.
Have you checked out the two simple php template scripts linked thou, I am not arguing php vs. smarty.
I can not imagine managing a large website with just raw includes. It would be helpful to have wrapper scripts like these and a better way to combine templates and views into a final product.

for me, views == templates.
i don't see a problem with a few includes here and there. I just built a large site this way, and it was never overwhelming.
That first library (Most Simple?) was interesting, but i didn't see how it simplified much.
Tiny but Strong tunred me off the second I saw a function definition in a view file. ack! I like my views to be 90% markup and 10% logic (PHP). Save the function/class definitions for the model, controller, library, helper, etc.
Most of these seem to require more set-up per page then I care to deal with.

I agree with Elliot Haughin - PURE PHP POWER!!! - although I have a crazy "templating" system based on the file extensions (.html => html, .m => mobile, .rss =>... you guessed it XML)

phpBB3 templating. Still working on the various libraries for phpBB3->CI, but the templating CI lib I did works.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but what's wrong with the template parser that CI ships with?

Tru dat, I like smarty because of syntax and the fact that I can add custom functions/plugins with great ease. I'll admit it was tough to understand how it operates at first. X-Cart shopping cart runs it and that's how I got familiar with it. Plus it has it's own community just like CI does.
