Agreed, I like it more being totally template based.
The template stage for UBBThreads has just started, but I think it would be logical to expect that in some time there will be a place with a template collection.
Ideally it would be somewhat like a Yahoo style of index place, where you go through different categories to find the template you like.
Anyway, I like it as it is, if you dont want a feature, remove it from the template. If you want it, add it to the template.
