I partially agree with the "Smarty is no longer needed" opinion.
During the last months I changed all my ZF projects back to
Zend_Layout/Zend_View, eliminating Smarty. But I still need Smarty for
simple email body templates...
Why does nobody mention the (in my eyes) horrible bug (it's definitely
not a feature!) in PHP itself that was last discussed in 1998 and then
somehow accepted by the community as a "feature": PHP eating newlines
after the closing tag

AFAIK, PHP still doesn't give us the option to turn off this nasty
behavior. I didn't hear of an option in PHP 5.3 either. Please let me
know, if I'm wrong.
Some Smarty templates really start to look messy with all those extra
newlines after closing tags if I switch from Smarty to Zend_View.
