You lose most of what makes it worth using Django, so you're in effect kind of 
stuck with it. If you don't need/want the ORM, you might as well use something 
else.

Compared to custom tags in, say, Mako? Having to implement a mini-parser for 
each single tag when you can write a stupid Python function is needless 
complication.
