I think my recent, expanded post on templating, is a good idea of one. It delves a bit deeper than my post here and should give you even a clearer idea of what it's about and what kind of alternatives there are.
Survive JavaScript - Sneak Peek
On other news I have been working on a little booklet on JavaScript. My goal is to show people how to survive with JavaScript. It is aimed primarily for beginner to intermediate level. So if you are a pro, just skip it. :)At the moment the first few chapters are about ok. The rest are just stubs. Regardless feedback is welcome. I am particularly interested in which sort of topics you think I should cover. It can be a little difficult to see which are tough ones anymore.
