Until you try it out and realize the benefits!

- Type safe HTML: you get an exception instead of malformed HTML

- Truly reusable components: any Python web framework, component packages are truly reusable in any other projects. I never seen this with template engines.

- Huge productivity boost: not even close! No hunting for templates, no jumping between files, everything is in Python functions.

- Composable elements: you can nest things as much as you want, refactor very easily. Doing this with templates is not even possible, or such a pain I never did it.

- Storybook: There are a couple ones for Django, but they are clunky and not reusable at all.

I felt the same for a long time, but started thinking about a nice API. It took me months, but I finally got it: https://github.com/kissgyorgy/compone
