Of course not, but in reality, you could spend the 20 minutes looking at
each and quickly come to your own conclusions instead of making us do it for
you. :-(

The language design is more along the lines of what I approve of as being
MVC. FM is closer to JSP style than WM is.
The order is something like this:
JSP Tea FM WM
FM development has also appeared to have stalled.
In the end, WM-style template languages really is the right solution. I have
yet to see a good reason why it isn't.
