Comment 8 for bug 1014876

"at this point the bug seems a duplicate of bug #372132?"
Possibly
The difference would be that this has been a default supplied option (r. clicck > new docu..) that users have have had available in prior Ubuntu releases for some time.

Whether using 'Templates' is difficult I'm not in a position to judge how difficult it would be for users to figure out or even if it would be missed (though I guarantee many current Ubuntu users will notice it's gone.
Maybe that's something for user studies or design

What does come up is it seems nautilus has a 'built-in' template for text, but it won't show until something is placed in the Templates folder.
So if a user puts a text file 'template in, then they can get 2 options for the same thing. So that may be confusing instead of difficult
