SharePoint Project Templates make it easy to create a SharePoint solution such as list and site definition projects. But seems it hides too much detail from developers and is difficult to fit in more complicated projects, for example a project including application pages and custome resource files.

On the other hand, SharePoint Solution Package is really cool. It gives developers full control to the SharePoint solution and gets rid of the painful and tedious work of defining the CAB and manifest files. However, it requires developers to specify various files likely developed from other projects to fit the solution structure, sush as assemblies should be included in GAC.

In my opinion, it would be ideal if these two tools could be combined togeter. I am really hoping MS will be (or is?) looking at this.
