Description
The issue has been brought up with the renaming of jade: if we have to change the _default engine_ away from jade, which engine should it be? There are three main contenders, with, i.m.o. the main pro of each:
1. `pug`. pro: very similar language to `jade`
2. `hbs`. pro: this is an Express.js project
3. `ejs`. pro: it's a basic, flexible language
4. _no defulat_. pro: reduces reliance on external dependencies
