Default view engine to pug, not jade.

Due to a trademark issue, the project name has been changed from “Jade” to “Pug” in conjunction with the release of Pug 2.

The package should be updated and the templates should be renamed as well.

Sorry for the potential duplicate; after I submitted this, I noticed #141

Honestly, the deprecation warning is pretty gnarly and since Pug is Jade, I think it's logical to just rip off the bandaid and do it rather than rabbit-holing on alternatives.

Hi @fluxsauce I would say this is a duplicate issue for the one you linked to. Certainly replacing jade with pug is up for consideration, but pug still hasn't actually released a stable version yet, and has been constantly in flux, from being in alpha forever, then beta forever and now sitting in RC.

Additional information from that issue in why we have not changed it yet is because there are many tutorials out there that say install express-generator and then run it without params and exact to get Jade files and explain things with the .jade template files. I have been emailing those tutorials to either add @... to the install to get a specific generator install, to add --view=jade if they want to keep using Jade or add --view=pug and update their tutorial to reflect Pug. I have gotten quite a few to change so far, as according to the plain in the referenced thread.

If you can help get tutorials updated, that would be a big help as well 👍

@dougwilson can you be more specific, IE which tutorials are you speaking of?

[dougwilson]

There are a lot out there, and I've gotten a lot of them changed and am basically just trying to get the ones that are at the top of the Google search results. For example:

• https://www.tutorialspoint.com/nodejs_online_training/nodejs_express_generator.asp
• http://www.fullstackjs.com/book/4/web-app-express-gen.html
• http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/

Getting the tutorials that at least turn up at the top of search results has come up multiple times by folks not even involved in Express #141 (comment) and #141 (comment)
