What are the pros of using the Handlebars template over Underscore.js?
Picking one over the other is a subjective thing – it really comes down to your preferred programming style – but when compared, handlebars edges out underscore.js as below:
Logic-less templates do a great job of forcing you to separate presentation from logic.
Clean syntax leads to templates that are easy to build, read, and maintain.
Compiled rather than interpreted templates.
Better support for paths than mustache (ie, reaching deep into a context object).
Better support for global helpers than mustache.
Requires server-side JavaScript to render on the server.
