I use TT.  It is teh roxor.

Actually, this depends on where and how you draw the conceptual line
between View and Controller.  Some people say "The View must contain no
logic!  I draw the line here!".  Other people say "The Controller must
contain no Presentation logic!  I draw the line here!"

I tend to fall into the latter camp.  I want Controller and View to be
cleanly separated, and sometimes that means putting a small amount of
presentation logic into the template, in order to keep it out of the
controller.

I wrote up some examples of this issue in a comment I posted on
use.perl.org:
