I'll have to agree. I confess that, when I first started using cake, I hated using php in my views. I had been using smarty and a few other templating systems, and I thought they were better. I was wrong. Adding a templating system adds one more level to debug and one more level where things can go wrong. PHP works great, cake devs already know it, and it can be very nice looking if you design your site properly.
