I assume not then.

It does not say many prefers it, it says I prefer it and many uses it.

The reason many uses it is because this hack is around since 2002 when vb didn't have a cms by then. So many people built and developed their sites around webtemplates for years (see sample sites in the first post) and they want to keep their pages as is without a need to migrate over to vb cms.

The reason I prefer it is because IMHO it is more simple to use and it is free.

It will be easier for you to decide if you like it or not, if you install it. It is free and takes 10 mins. to install and if you don't like you can just uninstall. So trying yourself and have your own opinion can be more helpful than trying to understand others' opinions.
