Nate - you decided to join our little MN group, when are you going to be in town on the first Thursday of the month so you can talk to the group on Lithium :P You know, you need to get the home town around you lol.

Nate,
I saw your post. I am familiar with nosmarty and the reasoning behind all of it. There are still a lot of programmers out there not doing any MVC. My point is to teach them a better way through Smarty, and by separating view from business logic.

Actually I am a Cake developer and fan.
