You haven't convinced me either. Changing the included CSS file, if you're using CSS-P for your layouts, lets you re-use *all* of your PHP code. Including extra files for templates in sub-directories sounds like a terrible waste of server space to me. Plus, once you've created the CSS files, the rendering overhead is shifted to the client, saving your server the extra processing for a template. And as for better thinking, CSS-P lets me debug a lot faster because the individual sections are truly modular in both the PHP code and the finished output.
I was hoping for some convincing reasoning for using Smarty templates over CSS, but "code re-use and future changes" aren't doing it for me since I get both of those in spades with CSS-P.
