Yeah, I've been forced to do a lot of C# for web apps recently and 
before that experience, I'd have said that I don't do much template code 
and that using a language without them won't be a big deal.

However even doing a relatively small web app, in C# made me really miss 
being able to knock out some quick template code to sort out the 
repetitive bits. C#s version of generics is laughably crap.

You might not use templates every day, but when you need/want them 
absolutely nothing else comes close.
