Amen to that!  I use both and find different things to like about each.

The *real* villain here is the temptation to mix logic and 
presentation.  Either approach will gracefully allow you to create 
unmaintainable code.  Either approach will work well for those who show 
some discipline in their design.

Let's spend more time encouraging good coding habits and less time blaming 
our tools, can we?
