If you disallow templates, people who like them will just copy&paste the code on their user page. It doesn't take longer at all, one just needs to mark slightly more text with their mouse.
That cuts out my main complaint against userboxes.
Exactly. I'd like to have a repository of code for creating whatever userboxes people come up with. No fair use images or categories would be allowed. Userboxes that actually had an encyclopedic use (Babel boxes, for example) could remain as templates. This would seem to allow everyone to keep their userboxes and would remove the vast majority of complaints about them.
