I'm not sure how demotivating it is. Doesn't bother me at all from the
user point of view, given the number of hoops I had to jump through in
WebMacro when I still used it, and how pleasant and nice I find Vel to
use in my day to day work life. People might want to chime in here
though.
It bothers the heck out of me as a Velocity committer though, and will
have the fix in ASAP.

What reason, and what do you use?
If you are being honest about your sentiments, you can't use WebMacro
either, because they can't even seem to decide on their syntax... they
just added a new parser and are deprecating their old one. Enjoy.

You hve a very good point, but there is a major rewrite I want to do to
resolve this and related problems in the parser, and wanted to wait
until after the release 1.0, as the syntax and parser is stable, modulo
this issue.
