Description
Right now, the documentation for creation of custom template tags, using a (parser, token)-function, is mentioned above the creation of simple template tags.
It would be great to revert this order, and make clear that when possible a simple tag is recommended. (Not only for readability.)
Why?:
The ability of creating custom template tags using (parser, token) is great, but it's a lot harder or impossible to predict the behaviour or the change the template render engine if we ever have to in the future. Making sure that people are using as much as possible the built-in Node classes, would do for a nice abstract syntax tree in moste cases.

I definitely agree. We should encourage people to put far more logic into template tags and filters than in the templates themselves. Having the most complicated approach being mentioned first, doesn't help.

Basically I broke the whole tags section up into "Simple" and "Advanced", placing the simple stuff first.

That proposal makes sense to me.
