I personally like having the front end templates separated from the server code as much as possible. I think Blade accomplishes this while also providing you with a syntax that is much more readable than Smarty. On top of that I feel like Blade isn't necessarily trying to do as much as Smarty.

EDIT: I certainly prefer using Blade to doing the old '<a href="' . $url . '">... and other similar variants.
