I guess the technique we're using would fall under "DOM-templating" which the writer dismisses with four bullet points: * less expressive I somewhat disagree, and would also say that the only reason for having the extra "expressiveness" is to do things you probably shouldn't do in your template. * you may need to avoid a flash of unbound content But you may not! * server-side rendering is hard or impossible without hacks But I'd say that rendering string templates server-side is simply bad if you do not comprehend the HTML, so the "hacks" are worth it, and not really a big problem with -- say -- node. * data-binding cruft Simply disagree here -- make your data-binding "cruft" legal and it helps see what's going on in debugging. So I'll stick with our "DOM-templating" approach. Good read though and thought-provoking.
