    <p>I used Jade before. The nice thing about Jade is that you have a shorter syntax which means you can type faster. The <code>block</code> in Jade is pretty powerful which can help me a lot when dealing with complex HTML code.</p> <p>On the other hand, it is hard to do some simple stuff in Jade, thing like adding classes into a DIV based on a simple if condition. I need to put something like this </p> <pre><code>- if (isAdmin) div.admin.user - else div.user </code></pre> <p>Jade also don't differentiate between the tags and the variables which make the code very confusing (at least for me)</p> <pre><code>a(href='/user/' + user.id)= user.name </code></pre> <p>Jade is also not designer-friendly. My designer friends often give me HTML and CSS (They switched to LESS recently but still want to use HTML), and for that reason if I use Jade I need to convert HTML to Jade. Also in Jade, we need to use indentations, so if your HTML structure gets complicated, your code will look horrible (especially tables). Sometimes, I don't even know what level I am at</p> <pre><code>table thead tr td a img tr td tbody tr td </code></pre> <p>Recently, I made a switch to EJS and I am happy with it so far. It is very close to pure HTML and use the same syntax as that of the frontend template engine I am using (Underscore template). I must say that everything is easier with EJS. I don't have to do all the conversion when receiving HTML templates from my designer friend. All I have to do is to replace the dynamic parts with variables passed from ExpressJS. Stuff that make me crazy when using Jade are solved in EJS</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="&lt;%= isAdmin? 'admin': '' %&gt; user"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I can know what is what with EJS </p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="/user/&lt;%= user.id %&gt;"&gt;&lt;%= user.name %&gt;&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>If you miss the short syntax of Jade (like me) you can combine Zen-Coding and EJS which can help you speed up the progress in general. About performance, I don't see any differences</p> <p>However, EJS is not as powerful as Jade, it doesn't have blocks by default (this guy implemented a block feature for EJS <a href="https://github.com/RandomEtc/ejs-locals" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/RandomEtc/ejs-locals</a>)</p> <p>So, it is totally depend on you to pick whatever makes you comfortable. But if you are going to use another template engine for the frontend like me, it's better if you use the same thing for both sides</p> <p>Update 16 December 2013: Recently, I have switched from EJS to Swig (which has similar concept as that of Jinja2 in Python world). The main reason is the lack of block in EJS even with the help of <code>ejs-locals</code>. Swig is also using plain HTML for templates and a lot of cool features that a template engine should have for example filters and tags which EJS doesn't have</p>

    1. CORegarding not knowing what level you are on, it should be mentioned jade has new support for multiple tags on a single line. From Jade's documentation, 'To save space, jade provides an inline syntax for nested tags.'a: img' is equivalent to '<a><img /></a>'.

    2. COI did try `Jade` one or two years ago. Perhaps it is getting better now. However regrading my first point, it wont be easy to get around that

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
