I think I understand that a user can currently “extend” EE templates with PHP. When EE 2.0 is released, is plain PHP still usable, or is the user required to use CI?
Thanks, and I’m sorry if this question seems confusing.

I certainly think it would be. A lot of us use tidbits (or more) of PHP here and there and I can’t image EE would limit our upgrading or that the EE team would do something like that.

Codeigniter is “just” a framework that gives you tools (environment, classes, methods) to speed up you PHP development. So with CI you are just dealing with PHP.
Whether you use CI components or just your plain-vanilla PHP code should be up to you. Just as you now have the option to use EE-classes.

Yes, you’ll still be able to use plain PHP in your templates.
