I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts on JSP as a first class
citizen. As far as simplification, I agree completely, but want to
emphasize that there will be other template mechanisms that are
important to people (like JGenerator is to me). 

That said, it seems more important that turbine have high quality and
easy to understand support for a couple of template systems (just
velocity would make me happy =), rather than a super flexible interface
for supporting any template engine out there. As long as it is not
really difficult or impossible for me (as a user of turbine) to insert
my own means of rendering templates, I will be happy. And to some
extent, with the pipeline, everything can be replaced with enough work.

Thanks!
