Giant things are tens of thousands of users? :-) We use Smarty for a variety of sites that generate a lot of traffic (television networks, telecoms). With proper caching, it does fine. But developer sanity suffers (for both front end and back end developers). We have a lot of experience with Smarty, and I would recommend against using it. We all dislike it to various degrees. But we're stuck with it.
If we could do it all over again I think we'd just use straight PHP (with Zend_View), or look more closely at XSLT and PHPTAL (get benchmarks, etc.). XSLT could work nicely with an API middle tier, but our front end guys might not like it. -Matt On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 11:58 AM, Garrison Locke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I know this usually starts a big war, but I was just curious about how > many people out there are using Smarty and to what extent you're using it? > If you're not using it, why did you decide to not use it?
