Personally, I'm against having Twig as the default. I've worked at quite a few web development companies and all the frontend developers I work with are comfortable with editing PHP templates in wordpress, magento, ZF etc. I tried to introduce Smarty templates in 1 company about 4 years ago and there was a backlash from the frontend teams who complained that they recognised enough PHP to get by, but didn't see the advantages of using a templating language. It was just as hard for them to understand the template notation as understanding the basic PHP (if, else, foreach etc) which they knew already from working with other frameworks.
Also, I understand the thought behind forcing some coding standards, but in my experience, the coders that want to put action logic in templates are lazy so they are more likely to be frustrated that they cant hack the templates quickly and that they have to learn new syntax. Experienced developers are more likely to see the advantages of investing time into learning a templating language. I do like Twig and I'm definitely in favour of giving the user a choice, but for me personally, easy-to-pick up PHP templates are one of the reasons I recommend symfony to my employers, and would only choose Twig under certain circumstances. -ollie On Sep 22, 8:08 pm, Dennis Benkert <spinecras...@googlemail.com> wrote: > I like Fabian's point.
