		ErrantX on Dec 17, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: URL Routing in Recess my upcoming PHP Framework Smarty is simply obfusication. As the other reply suggests it adds no ease for non programmers to make changes. It doesn't add human readability. Ultimatley PHP short syntax is just simpler (especially if your using an MVC framework or similar).

You're ignoring quite a few features of Smarty, and I disagree with you on human readability.

The other reply also wasn't saying anything about ease. It was about control, which is also important once your team reaches a certain size/level of skill diversity.
