I have recently started working with Drupal on the side and have had to tackle the limitations I come up against in the Views API. More than not I find it faster and more powerful to code it myself.
- It is hard to create custom views that have a specific look and feel without create custom files anyway.
- Creating the pages from scratch in a *.tpl.php gives me more choice and flexibility. I have done a couple of them now and it is almost as fast.
For a developer (since this is a programming forum) what is better in your opinion:
Views or Custom templates?
