The curious thing is that Smarty syntax, IMHO, is not any easier than PHP.
The way you loop over arrays -- e.g., with "section", which come to think
of it is a weird name for it -- is unintuitive enough to make me have to
check the docs again every time.

<?php foreach: ?> et cetera <?php endforeach; ?>

seems simpler.

I used to be a big Smarty fan but coming under the spell of CakePHP and
seeing the intelligent way it uses/wants you to use good old PHP for
building views, my love of Smarty has cooled off.
