It's exactly the "full feature set" that bothers me with TT. Most of those features seem to be ways of blurring the distinction between template and code which is a major part of what templating systems were initially designed to avoid.

Template::Tiny looks nice. It's unfortunate that it is documented in terms of what it doesn't do rather than fully documenting what it does do. For a new user you first need to read the TT documentation then forget all the bits that don't apply. That'd be OK if the TT documentation was easy to read and understand - it's not.

"lazy" often means typing a few more characters so you don't have to type more characters later following a frustrating debugging session. Neither justification translates into "a lot more sense" IMO and the lack of "one stop" documentation kills Template::Tiny as an option for me.
