That's just what us template-blind people want to hear -
confirmation that we are in fact stupid.
The project I'm talking about is about 30000 loc excluding
blank lines and comments.
What I'd like to see is a tool, or a switch on the compiler
that emits the code generated by templates. We - the
template-blind - would have it sussed in a heartbeat then.

There is nothing wrong about not using templates. Almost any
compile-time design can be moved to run-time and expressed in
more common OOP form. And using tool you have mastery of is
usually more beneficial in practice than following the hype.
