Should I start to use Mako from beginning?

I'm new to django, it's amazing! But after I did some research from
google, I found out that some people say that the default template
engine of django is not that good to use, they recommend Mako as a
replacement.

So I'm wondering if I should start learning and using Mako from
beginning?

Frankly, it's hard for me to judge. In one hand, I think it's better
to use the default components to understand the design philosophy
behind. In another hand, I also think to use a commonly recommended
replacement may lead me to a straight forward way to archive the goal.

And the same concern also happened for the data model component.
Should I use SQLAchemy from beginning?

I really need your comments to help me out!
