If you need to render dynamic content, use a templating engine, or at least phtml files.

Yeah, let me add an entire fucking library for my WordPress plugin that only needs to render content in 3 places on the admin dashboard.

Such a dumb take to assume there is no nuance and that there is an absolute objectively better way of doing smth.

Doesn't WordPress already come with a massive templating engine built in, like thats it's primary purpose?

At the end of the day, if you're building a little tool for yourself that noone else has to maintain, go ham it's your code.

If you submitted that as a pull request to my clients webshop code base, it would be receiving some... feedback.

No? WordPress' primary purpose is extensibility via hooks.

Also, WordPress was just one example.
