I think this is more then a matter of taste. For example, I generate in my
web application
navigation trees similar to the explorer directory structure.
Such an output is difficult to generate using the AWS templates.
On the other hand it is simple to generate this when I have procedures that
reside in the template.
These can just iterate the tree structure and while doing that generate the
proper html.

Besides this, this makes the coupling of the html much more loose from the
ada code.
So in general the code is easier to understand although not all code resides
in the ada program,
but also partly in the template.
