I hear what you're saying Ryan - although in fairness there is some history there, and also some very significant challenges on all sides to actually communicate. However, one has to keep in mind that sometimes the definition of "end user" can be pretty different. On reading this thread, I have the sense that lots of people commenting here see template creators/curators as the "end user" - but they aren't in any conventional sense. The end user is the person who actually uses the template.
