Thanks (and sorry for the late reply)!

EJS and lodash.template (a similar alternative library) each have about 6 million downloads per week. I think many JavaScript developers choose to use them because -- even if JavaScript inside HTML is a little bit strange-looking -- they know it'll be readable to other JavaScript developers, rather than making them learn some new template syntax.

A great example of a project that uses Eta currently is Docusaurus, which uses Eta (ex. in github.com/facebook/docusaurus/blo...) to generate server-side builds.
