I agree it can be confusing for people coming from previous CakePHP versions, but it is definitely not confusing for someone new to the framework. The separation is very clear: if you want to modify a view template it in the Template folder. It will get some time to get used to for old cake developers, but I'm sure it is not going to be a big deal.
