Well, I for one have never felt that one system necessarily beats out another. I realize, too, that the tone of the "Reverse Callback Templating" article may come off as indicating this, but that wasn't really my intent. I adopted that sort of "selling" -- yikes, shopping network -- tone, specifically because I do want to advocate the module, and point out those features that may appeal to developers.
However, I think it's important to point out the differences of template system behavior, simply because it helps you make a better choice.
