Are there any limitations or risks associated with using EJS? I have
recently discovered it and been very impressed. We are considering
using it for a large enterprise-scale project for which security,
accessibility, scalability, and performance are critical concerns. Is
anyone aware of and limitations or shortcomings of EJS in those areas?

One limitation (or annoyance rather) is that it relies on exceptions
to load the templates. I wish they would have done something like:
if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') { use this }
...
instead of try { ... } catch(e) { continue; }
that is just sloppy and makes debugging a nightmare.

I would use JavaScriptMVC's version of EJS. It performs better.
EJS uses prototype's old way of detecting XHR features. It was state of the art 2 years ago, but techniques have changed.
All improvements to EJS happen in JavaScriptMVC and we back port them when people complain enough.

Cool...thank you both for the quick responses! I am actually using
the JMVC version currently, but with Dojo view components. It is
awesome...so much cleaner than the old string mess. Hopefully there
won't be any issues with using JMVC/JQuery alonside Dojo (it's a
mandate that we use Dojo at least for the view).
