Even if you aren't using Channels or HTML views, you still get the nice features like Router pipelines, JSON Views, code reloading in development for "Refresh Driven Dev", and our Controllers, which provides a number of nice features on to of Plug, like content negotiation. Phoenix Views are really nice for JSON composition and if you ever need to start serving other content like HTML, you'll be all set. Plug is a fine choice, but you'll have to roll a lot more code yourself. If are planning WS related features in the future, Phoenix will make that a first-class experience, where Plug you'll have to dip directly into the underlying webserver adapter.
