Well,  I just want to exterminate their use in the wikis were I'm an admin :). Wikitext was never meant to be a programming language, the parser functions were put together by glue and paper, so they work inefficiently.

It is a horrible mess to maintain when one of them breaks. For instance, one of these documentation templates is generating an enormous amount of wanted pages, be it, /testcases, or /doc pages. This makes that list (special:wanted]]) pretty much impossible to navigate or to try to clear up.

That's the main reason I don't want to see any of them :).
