If plethora of templating systems exist, this only proves that it's the best
system on average for average programmers on average cases. Now try to do a
really complex web application (that is not some kind of eCommerce one but
one with hundreds of classes with different views according to the
habilitation levels, and objects status) and then you need an above average
systems or the development time explodes.
The designers' HTML is obviously always automatically converted to the
equivalent Lisp code.

[Hum, sorry for being harsh but these kind of endless threads (a
comp.lang.lisp specialty) get on my nerves. And now I'm even increasing the
noise by posting to one of these. And yes I know, if I don't like them I
don't have to read them. I don't, I just do some random sampling... :(]
