Exactly, that's why I also find it better to use PHP as the "templating
engine" than TYPO3 templates. The only drawback of pure PHP is that it
its templating tags are a bit more error prone than smarty. E.g.:

<? if: ?>
<? else: ?>
<? endif; ?>

{if}
{else}
{/if}

other than that I see no reason not to use PHP templates. So I don't see
what you mean with antithesis, as we both seem to have the same opinion? :)
