After looking at the current behaviour of the Create Document command I
tend to agree with mac_v, in that users want to work with new documents,
not just create them and leave them sitting there. Couldn't we change
the way the command works so that it opens a new document within the
associated app using the template selected i.e. the same thing that
would happen if the user double clicked on the template file directly?
That would make the command much more useful in general.

I still think that the Templates folder should come pre-populated with
some good basic templates - otherwise most users will never figure out
what that folder is for in the first place (I didn't, and I've been
using Ubuntu for years). If non-desktop users really have such a problem
with that, then perhaps make it so that each user's Templates folder is
only populated on the creation of a desktop user account? To be honest,
I don't think that's really necessary though... how much room do a few
basic templates take up really?
