Looking around the google group and the various blogs (and
documentation in the book/cookbook) I get the feeling that most people
are now using twig as their templating engine.

When I started with sf2 I almost instantly decided that I wouldn't
want to use twig since learning and using yet another syntax didn't
sound that attractive and I've had bad experiences with alternative
templating engines in our homebrew framework.

But if the biggest part of the community really feels that twig is
awesome then I guess it would be worth another look, specially if most
of the examples and discussions found online are using twig!

So? Is it me? Or is Twig really getting the upper hand?

twig is very easy to learn and you will be able to get results faster and
with less lines of code.  i recommend it.

Twig is the recommended templating language for your Symfony Bundles
as well: http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/book/bundles.html#templates

You'll soon find yourself in the minority with PHP templating in
Symfony.  (And Twig is really really good, especially from a caching
perspective)

Twig rocks. Its code is clean and it has well-defined extension points, and
it's a pretty well designed library for its purposes. I can't say the same
about PHP ;)

TWIG helps a lot, specially for teams with designers which are not involved
with PHP
