Basically when the 'escaping_strategy' is enabled (in symfony 1.4 it
is by defalt) it does not pass the $sf_content for the layout
and hence does not display any content. I am working with the author
to figure out what the right behavior should be.
Do you know what the correct behavior is ? I did a quick search and
did not find anything obvious.

There are multiple reasons. Firstly, I have seen many coders writing
code in the view files, that rightfully belongs in controller. Using a
simple template
langauge discourages it. Secondly, we have many reusable widgets that
are template based, and the best way to port them to symfony is if
symfony
supports Smarty. Finally, it improves readability of code and helps
maintenance in long term, especially when lot of people are handling
the code.
Our eventual goal is to create widgets that are  language independant
(write a widget once, and call it from PHP, Ruby, ASP etc.) and using
a template
language is a first step in that. We are working on some pretty
exciting stuff in this area.

I am actually very impressed that symfony already has support for
smarty. This is a very good sign in terms of platform maturity!

Cheers,
/CK
