They read it in a book and never really spent any time working with a graphic or UI designer to figure out their real needs.

In other words, Clearsilver really says more about the immense talent and future positions of a certain group of people (eGroups->Plaxo, Bloglines, Google Groups, orkut) than about the superiority of templating system itself. The myopia is self- evident to anyone who has built websites in a scripting web language, even if those people can’t see it for themselves. So when people talk about templating systems, I think of Clearsilver. It reminds me that very smart people can be very blinded by their ego, and unwillingness to respect the experiences of others. We often forget that all this stuff is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Best is truly the enemy of good.
