I think that Twig should be bundled and be the default, but that plain PHP templates should still be an option.
I have a personal distaste for template engines and while Twig fixes most of the problems I have with template engines (like performance), I still dislike the syntax. However, in most projects, the syntax is not my problem since there will be other people (designers, frontend engineers) that handle the templates. However, for other projects where I am responsible for the frontend (like my own private projects) I would like to have the option to switch to plain PHP, which I like much more. As Jordi mentioned, defaulting to Twig will ensure that lesser-experienced developers will not be able (or at least have a much harder time) to "break" the MVC concepts. And I think this alone would be a good reason to switch to Twig as the default. But again, the option to switch to plain PHP (or another template engine, for those that want/need another template engine) should still exist for the more advanced users.
