Pros and cons of MACRO template engine

Pros

MACRO has powerful tools for templates composition such as wrapping, including, reusing, multiple wrapping. We really don't know any other template engine that offers the same capabilities.

MACRO is a compiling template engine where initial template is compiled into php-class. Unlike Smarty, MACRO compiles templates only as a whole. This means that compiled MACRO template is always fast and all includes and wraps cost you nothing in terms of execution speed.

MACRO has just a small set of restrictive rules. You can use regular php-blocks inside MACRO template, you can use any helpers, etc. You can use MACRO aims or not - it's up to you. We really worked hard to find best possible balance between ease of use of raw php-code in templates and MACRO elements.

You can always extend MACRO with our own elements such as tags and filters.

MACRO compiles it's elements into very clean php-code, much cleaner than Smarty or WACT. This makes MACRO to be a fast template engine. And you can always create you own version of MACRO elements to produce even more optimized php-code.

You can write your own template resolving mechanism or implement you own MACRO config.

MACRO suits perfectly for html-coders since has a rich set of tools for rendering lists or table, pager, forms, etc. Html-codes can do most of templates composition job without any help of php-developers.

Cons

Do you have any opinions? ;) Let's discuss them at our forum.
