Not even because vibe's templates have to be recompiled each time some small markup change is introduced -- I got used to that with LaTeX ;) -- but because of Jade. It's way too far off course from HTML for my tastes. I see no reason for inventing a completely new format when all you need is templating.

mustache has a D implementation since some time: https://github.com/repeatedly/mustache-d

There's no special vibe.d integration, but it shouldn't be hard to get it working. I've used mustache-d before it's pretty easy to use but it's a simple template system, it might not have all features you'd expect.

In particular it just has to have support for writing to a char/dchar output range (vibe.d's OutputStream implements a range interface).

Another one template engine that has pretty syntax is Razor in ASP.NET MVC. It's opensource and can be used in non-web areas.

Although it would be good to read a simple tutorial "how to use/integrate 3rd party template engine with vibe.d".
