[question] [discussion] why use pug

I was going through the code and I was wondering why do we use pug? Yeah, there are the includes but that can easily be done with simple javascript. We don't use it's more complex features.

No file, test, or concrete change is identified. Review where Pug includes are used in the project and the surrounding template code, then clarify whether the intended outcome is documenting the rationale for Pug or replacing it; the discussion is complete only once that scope and decision are recorded.
