I also  do not like templates too much.

Only when you have COPY of code you need to use them

Where you need absolute need in templates ?

Boost is not a good example.

As for me, we do not use STD and Boost in our big project,
But yes we have few places where templates was needed.

Boost is crazy on templates, but exists yet interfaces, classes, aggregation
and other OO techniques...
