Ok, your back…
Can someone please explain to me how this is beneficial in any way shape or form better than how a developer currently makes templates? Maybe it’s just for those who are unfortunate enough to have to program in .net haha. oh and here’s an amazing video on how simple it is to use…. not. While watching the video pay attention around 6:30 where they show the bagillion files that were generated. Good luck finding the specific function you would like to modify or fine tune your application.
Also, who wants mooooooore lines of code and moooore files than you would ever need, write efficient code and make your code reusable. As they say in the video it generates 1000’s and 1000’s of lines of code that would take developers forever to write.
I must admit I am a big fan of rails but PHP also has some great frameworks such as cake php and .net does have master pages but not much beyond that.
If you really don’t know how to include a file in php (include ‘header.php’) or deal with templates in a framework maybe you should probably read the infinite amount of tutorials online or buy some books from fry’s electronics.
Any current users that love this application?

The compiler (partial the visual studio too) is smart enough to throw out unused parts of code.
With developing a perfect template you minimize bug’s (you have to repair them on one place). You develop a template for one datalayer class/table and it’s automatically done for next x of them. For small projects of few forms/pages/tables it’s maybe a very big gun.

I definitely understand the importance of templates and think they are a must for every project, this tool just makes it more complicated than it needs to be. It’s also because I prefer coding in Ruby and PHP which is much more efficient than anything in .net
