Does any one think its a good idea to get rid of the controller layout class?
If you look at lot of other projects they seem to just have a header and footer class rather than a layout.
the header would be responsable for settign the title, descriptions and modules.
Does any one think this is a good idea?
it would mean none of the old templates would work.
I personally don't care for programs like Smarty 
, but that's me... just let me keep the flexibility and freedom to hand code a layout and I'm a happy camper. It is to bad the templates are not compatible with new versions, but I'd rather live with that than loose the ability to hand code a design.

thats why you are called codebit.. you can code to bits... the simpler the better for us with simpler names 
See here why smarty makes no sense:

Also, why learn another language syntax when php is simpler yet more powerful, and applies to all php applications the same way.

will there be any improvements to the cart by doing so?

and i totally agree with Phil

how many files of the template have you actually modified? mostly the css and a few placements maybe.. but most files are rarely touched anyway. First lets see what's involved with the new method to see if maybe its easier or more powerful
Perhaps make it a v130-nolayout.zip version that is no diff from the current v130.. then decide which is better and go that way.

I agree with Qphoria. This will be probably the best way to find out what is the better way to go.Perhaps make it a v130-nolayout.zip version that is no diff from the current v130.. then decide which is better and go that way.
I am now working on template for OpenCart now ( it will be finish in couple days so I will post it here ) so I like to try out the version what you Daniel are proposing just to find out what takes more time and what you can do with it.

It would be cool if you did this to include a small set of instructions for theme makers to update their templates so that they can be used in newer versions. I guess it would only be a paragraph or two, copy this paste it here... that sort of thing.
