I evaluated both Plates and Transparency for the browser-side and chose the
latter because it does not pollute JavaScript with HTML (the reverse problem).
It has worked out well for me, thus far. As someone noted in a blog post, DOM
based templating is probably something that browsers can and will support
inherently, in the future, which would mean native browser support (not
necessarily with Transparency or Plates syntax) as well as performance.
For the server-side, I looked at using JSDOM but that seemed overkill just to
be able to use Transparency. My server-side needs were so simple that in the
end I wrote my own variable substitution code, but if not for that, I would
probably have picked Handlebars like you did.
For me, it’s all work on the way to ultimately using Meteor :-).
