Garrison, Good to see you on the list (we met at ZendCon)! I used to use Smarty but stopped using it a couple of years ago. The main reason I used Smarty was to separate display and business logic. Zend Framework's MVC components provide the separation I need and make it so there is no reason for me to use Smarty. I like the simplicity of using PHP as a templating language in the view - after all, PHP has historically been used for creating dynamic HTML content, why reinvent the wheel? On a side note, I have been experimenting with using HTML microformats as a templating language (see plainTemplate<http://ajaxian.com/archives/plaintemplate-phpquery>for an example), but that's a discussion for another day.
