I'm not sure why you'd hate the template language.

I'm not sure why you'd hate the template language. Its deliberate dumbness can be tiresome, but on the other hand, if you're running into that, it's a code smell. I was sceptical about the whole "designed for designers" aspect of it - but I've had to introduce a couple of people, one of whom isn't a developer, to Jekyll at work, with the Liquid templates which are very similar syntactically, and it's been picked up very quickly. I keep hearing it's slow, but I haven't had to run at a scale that it's a pain point, so I wouldn't know.
