I think this the question is valid, but how productive is it? If you want to use Smarty, Mustache or anything else, go for it, write a bundle and that's it.
I see several benefits of using Twig over others. You are not dependent on others projects timelines, decisions and eventually project deaths. Using projects that are tightly connected with Symfony makes sense, of course, as long as they are technically competitive, which in the case of Twig it appears to be.
