Now it's clear that Twig is the way to go when developing Symfony applications and it's getting better and better with each new version.\r\n\r\nThat's why **I'd like to propose to drop PHP templates support entirely for Symfony 3.0**.\r\n\r\nPros:\r\n\r\n  * Much less code to maintain, specially on heavy components such as forms.\r\n  * Much less documentation to write or maintain. We could use those resources to create new docs or improve the existing ones.\r\n  * Ideally, if we only define one default templating format, we could also optimize Symfony performance and configuration .\r\n\r\nCons:\r\n\r\n  * The tiny fraction of developers still using PHP templates will have to configure *something* or install *something* to be able to use PHP templates.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/symfony/issues/comments/147829927","html_url":"https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/12897#issuecomment-147829927","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/symfony/issues/12897","id":147829927,"user":{"login":"Venzon","id":482069,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/482069?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon","html_url":"https://github.com/Venzon","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Venzon/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-13T19:50:12Z","updated_at":"2015-10-13T19:50:12Z","body":"We also use php templates in large application and will need to keep php templates till end"}}
