The guys over in SixApart have made available a "roadmap" for MT open source ie. the open source MovableType
The next release - codename Cal - will hopefully make templating that bit easier for novices, as they are "flattening" the template sets significantly.
Of course there are plenty of other enhancements and improvements planned, but making the templates more accessible to first-time users wanting to move to MT from other platforms is probably being treated with a higher level of priority.
