I get the impression the author has never worked on a large system that made heavy use of string templating... Speaking as someone who's seen a lot of Enterprise-Grade infrastructure-as-code: DSLs can be frustrating, but string templating is literal hell.
I have actually! Assuming that you're talking about templating CloudFormation configs or something of the sort. I found it very annoying to work with.
I'm not sure how that applies to the article though, which only discusses string templating in the context of HTML. It's not an argument for the use of template engines generally.
