TP's I don't think have quite borne out the usefullness-to-complexity ratio

Agreed, but anything is better than some 3rd-party tool (that may or may not be integrated into the build) doing one-off ad-hoc code generation. I think any C# meta-programming facility would be a good step. Certainly the TP interface(s) could be simplified for C#.

well there are T4 templates for C# code-gen, although I can't say I've ever been eager to use them.
