OfBiz is moving away from ftl? What is it moving to? IMHO your position on eCommerce limits the value of a built in CMS. With the current CMS functionality it is possible to build and maintain a site almost exclusively thru content records and associations, starting with the publish point. Only a skeleton directory structure is necessary in the deployment.
It seems reasonable to suggest adding other functionality to a content managed site including eCommerce functionality.

Yes, but NOT for ecommerce! That will (or should, barring rogue developers) ALWAYS be written using templates (FTL or the like) to make it easy to customize. The ecommerce webapp should use the screen widget, but not the form, tree or menu widgets. -David
