Do you have more posts about this? My main gripe about Django is that the usual html templating options are but-uggly (as opposed to those that ship with Rails), but I haven't tried one of the new options.
I wish django's template engine was demoted to a contrib package and eventually replaced by jinja (i.e. jinja becoming a django dependency).
I understand that django templates started with the intention of eliminating programing logic in the templates (presentation). But the implementation of the concept is very puritanistic, to the point of becoming counter-productive. Jinja's approach OTOH is less opinionated: you can be a puritan and emulate django's approach if you want, but you can also be less dogmatic about the logic/presentation separation if that serves you.
As someone very aptly put it on reddit [1]:
> Jinja may let program logic layer bleed into the presentation layer, but with Django it seems there's no way to do it without presentation layer bleeding into program logic layer.
