ERB Review

Since ERB is included with Ruby out of the box, there is no additional installation and setup required. The fact that it's included by default in Ruby, a lot of projects use it.

ERB is a way to embed Ruby into plain HTML, which means there is no need to learn a new syntax for HTML. This makes ERB fast to learn, and a great option to use on projects that have multiple developers/designers.

ERB's interpolated tags are very familiar to developers who have worked with PHP, ASP or JSP, even though they may not have any prior experience with Ruby.

Due to Ruby on Rails (RoR) use of ERB, the developers of RoR will continue to maintain ERB, guaranteeing project health.

It has the best performance of all of ruby templates, although it wasn't designed for productivity as HAML or SLIM.
