I'm sure a large percentage of users who prefer plugin mods never bother to look inside the .XML files and study the routines. I too appreciate template edits because it forces you to look at the codes. I come from UBB where editing .pl and .cgi files were expected and with the experience it's helped me grasp vB's structure. There's a great satisfaction that comes from learning.
With that said it's all good either way.
