Re: Will combining cakephp with web templates like Smarty or Twig make front-end coding easier?

I am doing some reading. Here is one thing that puzzles me. One advantage of web template engines is that they separate presentation and logic. The same can be said about MVC frameworks like Cakephp. Then, why do we combine both together since any single one can do the separation? Did I miss out something? What are the pros and cons?

It helps to some extent, specially keeping the views safe from XSS attacks. Some would argue that it does not make your views more readable, I think it is a matter of preference. Here you have a CakePHP plugin for working with Twig:
