This would be the BOMB, the absolute frickin ultimate BOMB.
(That means a good thing.)
 
I hate long templates esp. because I can never remember the component  names. 
 So I tend to just stick to my old way of doing things and let  others fancy 
it up later.  Some templates (to my mind) are just utterly  stupid.  But if 
they came up as a form, that would certainly simplify  everything.
 
Let's start with Tables.  They are... a... pain.  A royal  pain.  Not just a 
normal commoner pain.
If I want to use a table, I don't even try the Wiki-way, I just use HTML  
markup.
Of course that generally means that no one ever updates my tables because  
they can't understand them.
