In a perfect world logic would be seperate from presentation but if you look at every template engine out there, they all offer people the ability to use logic via the template engine which is against the very reason for their existance. From a purist point of view its an oxymoron at best. Template engines dont eliminate logic from presentation but they can significantly reduce it and where it does exist it can be greatly simplified.
One thing I have learned during my time here, for every item one person wants to function a certain way, there is usually someone who wants it to function a different way.
