Cheetah is a serious contender for the 'best of breed' Python +templating." - Alex Martelli + +"People with a strong PHP background absolutely love Cheetah for being Smarty, +but much, much better." - Marek Baczynski + +"I am using Smarty and I know it very well, but compiled Cheetah Templates with +its inheritance approach is much powerful and easier to use than Smarty." - +Jaroslaw Zabiello + +"There is no better solution than Cheetah" - Wilk + +"A cheetah template can inherit from a python class, or a cheetah template, and +a Python class can inherit from a cheetah template. This brings the full power +of OO programming facilities to the templating system, and simply blows away +other templating systems" - Mike Meyer + +"Cheetah has successfully been introduced as a replacement for the overweight +XSL Templates for code generation. Despite the power of XSL (and notably XPath +expressions), code generation is better suited to Cheetah as templates are much +easier to implement and manage." - The FEAR development team + (http://fear.sourceforge.net/docs/latest/guide/Build.html#id2550573) + +"I\'ve used Cheetah quite a bit and it\'s a very good package" - Kevin Dangoor, +lead developer of TurboGears. -- cgit v1.2.1
