I disagree, for many reasons stated many times elsewhere: Smarty is bloated,
it adds another level of complexity, and it is reinventing PHP.

Is it so much easier for non-programmers to use { wp_something } that <?php
wp_something ?> ?

Again, I'm starting to use AdoDB (and so far I like it), but WP already uses
ezSQL database class, which shares many same goals as AdoDB, only it is much
lighter (10KB vs 200+KB for trimmed-down Ado)
