    Yes, I use Velocity as the central tempating engine for our in-house application server. What I really like about Velocity is that it forces seperation of presentation from code by completely disallowing arbitrary code inside of the template. You can still do everything you need to do with helper classes, which promotes great reusability and clean code.

    In my opinion Velocity is the best Java-based templating system and the second-best over all (next to Zope's near perfect PageTemplates system).
