TV actually was made to overcome _limitations_ of the older ways of
doing things, so I can't second your opinion, that TV is less flexible
than older methods (but I notice, you seem to not like it :-) , as
Dmitry already said).

To start with: TV has a perfect isolation between designer and TYPO3
coder/admin, the designer just can prepare nice HTML/CSS with sample
content without any need to know TYPO3/TypoScript with the tool, he
prefers. The TV mapping done by the admin on that prepared HTML/CSS is
usually easy as a snap.

And about flexibility: as the designer can prepare _more_ than one HTML/
CSS template and TV can handle that, the flexibility for different
designs is unlimited.

And finally, when combined with FCEs (Flexible Content Elements) which
might be just containers (say for a 2 column layout in the #content
area) or elements for a special purpose (say a receipe with image, list
of ingredients and desciption) editors can compose their content very
flexible and intutive.

So, IMHO, TV is _most_ flexible way of doing things.

regards, Georg
