Advantage: They abstract functionality from presentation.
Disadvantage: They abstract functionality from presentation.
:)
Basically with templates you have a separate file you can modify that will
not affect your code - this is your .html file. It's what makes your
presentation pretty. If you want to change the layout, you can simply modify
the template, without ever having to touch your code. If you need to make a
change in your code, you can without ever having to muck around with the
"presentation" layer.
When you don't use templates, both presentation and functionality are
embedded within the same file, and if you're not careful, one layer can
affect another.
I believe, ultimately, it's a matter of preference...
