I agree to avoid it with a web framework. It's just not worth the hassle in that sort of application. Where I still use it though is for reporting systems. Have your datasource output XML and then have an xsl for the web report and a xsl-fo for a printable PDF report.

At the time I wrote the reporting system it was to replace Crystal which I found to be much more of a pita and more expensive.
