That's probably where you and I differ, I don't see metaprogramming as a plus. More often then not it tends to lead to some long compile times(which is why boost never sees the light of day in any codebase I work in). I'll also counter that having worked in a fairly math heavy 3D graphics space I've never needed them, although our requirements may be different.
