$.02 or so.

I checked out Maypole exactly because it used TT and CDBI. I don't want
  to move away from those technologies or even abstract away from them.
  Frameworks are often unnecessarily abstract such that it's hard to
figure out where the rubber hits the road. It's difficult enough to
figure out how a column gets rendered as html or which columns get
displayed or why no data is retrieved in a query.

As far as the default templates go, I found them immensely useful as a
reference implementation. I don't think I would've gotten anywhere
without them. Shipping without them would have been a bad idea IMHO.
They're great for testing, demos, and learning.

I'm not sold on the YAML configuration idea. I'd rather work with perl
modules and templates.
