To Smarty or not Smarty?

I am currently wondering wether I should use Smarty or not. As some may know, I love having total control over what's happening, yet it's pretty boring to code a template system.

I want your opinion on this please.

Those wondering what the fuck is happening right now: NO, I did not start coding anything. Although I am on SUMMER VACATION starting wednesday. I am goijng on a trip until july 10th, date at which I will finally be able to actually start coding this beast!
