Here are a few reasons. 1) Familiarity / uniformity, as you mentioned. 2) Resources Jade is a close cousin to HAML; there are lots of useful resources out there, across multiple language communities, that work with it. 3) Tools There are tools (like the one linked below) that do a nice job converting whatever HTML we have laying around, to Jade: http://html2jade.aaron-powell.com/ There is a tool that looks like it might do something similar for html -> Hiccup: https://github.com/hozumi/hiccup-bridge … but it doesn't actually do so (yet, anyway). This kind of tooling is quite important to me - I need to be able to take HTML for a good looking site (a pre-existing site, or template) and get it easily in to whatever improved syntax I use. 4) Syntax Although I like the Clojure language syntax quite a bit (for example, as used in Hiccup, which I like!), I like the indentation-based HAML/Jade syntax more, for a big pile of HTML.
