You can still create your own templates in the repository directly, not using the filesystem; either with FreeMarker and using the inplace-templating module, or even still in JSP. Ruben will probably shime in soon, as he wrote a module that does something similar to our inplace-templating, but for JSP (which is trickier since JSP mandates the usage of the filesystem). Now, whichever way you go, doesn't mean you have to maintain anything manually on the filesystem. If you use the module mechanism, your templates will be part of your module, so all you'll have to do is update your module(s) on all instances. (if using JSP for example, the MM will be able to re-extract your jsp files to the filesystem) http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/module-mechanism.html Hope this clarifies a bit.
