All basic stuff is already there.
Some more default panels that's template stuff - NOT engine stuff.

And no - it would be annoying if they waited with the engine release just for the templates. I don't even see wher they advertise for panels and RPG templates on their page. There's just a text about templates - those are there and very usable, but they are still being extended.

The release of IntenseX is not really hold up. To make it perfect some plugin development stuff in WED is missing, but as far as I've understood Larry's posts, they're not a real showstopper. Development just needed the time.
You know that IntenseX already is in BETA test?
