This is probably the best news I've heard all week. Extend/include/mixin support will probably be enough for this to get widespread use (Jade is more approachable to a newbie also, imo). The one issue that I've noticed is that the docs don't tend to get updated, and the tutorials seem to push people into ErlyDTL to the point that they may not even be aware of Jade templating support. Hopefully that changes.
