just because some extensions do some stuff, it doesn't mean that the
core needs to be compatible to those things.

TS is a great tool but as soon as there are more lines involving
combinations from cObj, override, if, ... it is more and more magic,
especially for people how are not that familiar with TS.

write extensions with extbase, use the power of fluid with its partials,
viewhelpers and so on

Someone might wonder that such a posting comes from a person who did
some very crazy / complex TS snippets but chances are quite high to
forget what those are doing after some months of not looking at them.
