But this is a different issue Pablo. This is about documentation, not about technical choices. I am sure the documentation will list all options (as the current document is awesome enough as well). And yes, one might see a blogpost by me about how to use plain PHP as I prefer that for my own projects, but I definitely think that for projects that involve more than just my input, especially when also working with designers, Twig is a much better option.
