This is not from the same package and doesn't have the same features.

From django-jinja documentation (http://niwinz.github.io/django-jinja/latest/)

Django comes with a jinja backend, why should I use django-jinja?

The Django builtin backend has a very limited set of features if we compare it with the django template engine and in my opinion is not very usable because it does not integrate well with the rest of django such as its filters, template tags and preloading of templatetags, among others.

So it is up to you to see if you need those extra feature or not.
