Templates are nice, but they have shortcomings a more generic macro system wouldn't. They also have the issue where the more complex is your task, the more convoluted the code has to look, compilation times also increase and parsers (ergo, IDEs too) have trouble giving meaningful info on parameters. Don't even get me started on template errors because that's an atrocity on another level :(
