This is another important aspect for a web framework, in my opinion: being
template technology neutral.

There are many, many ways to generate content with templates. First the
back-end/front-end dichotomy. On the back-end, you have Freemarker, maybe
Velocity (kinda abandoned I think?), Scalatra and then the web frameworks'
own templating mechanisms.

On the front-end, you have another embarrassing of riches, such as Mustache
or Handlebars. Going even further, you can reconfigure your CSS with
on-the-fly technologies such as Less, or generate them statically and
including them the normal way.

And of course, the web framework must also be at least Javascript neutral
and ideally, offer some kind of integration with mainstream Javascript
technologies such as jQuery.
