Note, though, you can use the HTML helpers in the view as well, so the HTML structure won't be hidden there. A designer who is comfortable creating Python for loops and inter-mixing Python template code with HTML could probably also get comfortable working with the HTML helpers as well. HTML is probably preferable in most cases, but there are cases where working with the helpers can make the code a lot simpler.
