title: What is the most reliable and popular Node.js templating engine?
body: <p>Node noobie questions I hope someone wise can help answer:</p>
  
  <p>1) What is the most reliable and popular Node.js templating engine? I'm using Express and I'm thinking of either Jade or EJS(Embedded JavaScript).</p>
  
  <p>By the way, is it possible to NOT use a template engine when developing for Node? Or will that
  cause a lot of pain down the road?</p>
  
  <p>2) Also while we're at the topic of most popular, is MongoDB a wise bet when it comes to database for Node?</p>
  
  <p>Feedback from those with experience in this area will be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much!</p>
