Hello Atro, Those are excellent questions. Without having pondered deeply about it, here is my immediate blathering of thoughts:
I generally much prefer transclusion wherever I can use that instead of a macro. For the way this old sponge of mine works, transclusion often makes more sense to me than a macro (maybe because I always think in a transclusion way (with *everything*, TiddlyWiki or not.) I also get annoyed with macro syntax for whatever reason (in the same way somebody would prefer the colour green while somebody else the colour blue.) There are certain things that, to me, macro is hands down the way to go. What these things are, I'm not sure. Maybe it is enough to say that what can't be nicely done via transclusion, go with a macro. For example, all of the macros in my "Product Reviews" TiddlyWiki: https://intertwingularityslicendice.neocities.org/CJ_ProductReviews.html#Macros Well, the "ListCategoryProducts" and "ShowProductThumbnail", I can see me replacing those with transclusion template tiddlers. I am currently only half-way into my morning's first cup o' coffee, still a bit in a sleepy fog. Re-reading the above: huh, not so shabby despite not so bright-eyed and not so bushy-tailed ...
