I suppose Twig is not bundled with SF2 - therefore it's a thirdparty from SF's

From beginner's point of view, it can be a blow to them to learn another thing

extra care on how Twig shall be setup properly.. if we can avoid them such
problem, we shall do it.
you are of course right in pointing this out. that being said the symfony php
layer also requires a bit of learning, but its obviously not a big effort than
learning twig.
It really depends on who is writing the templates. Web designers can
learn Twig much faster than PHP.
the issue however is that if php is the standard template engine, it means that
most plugins, the admin generator etc, will likely be developed with this
template engine. this will diminish the usefulness of these templates for
people down the road. of course some people might prefer to go to xslt even,
but even those people will probably prefer having a non php template engine.
Yep, you are right.
to the list of pro's that Jordi listed I would also like to add that twig can do escaping
a lot more efficient (and also via plugins can do a better job at choosing the right
escaping based on context) than the "old" decorator approach (which we all have
to admit also causes beginners quite a few wtf's in the beginning).
This is a pretty big problems of the current Symfony PHP templating system.
