 Custom post types are not for people copy-pasting code without really
 understanding what is going on. ''Custom post types are not for them.''

 Does it really have to be that way?  Custom post types are not just
 something developer can understand; people with real world use-cases can
 easily understand the value of custom post types.

 Replying to [comment:6 yeswework]:
 > All I'm saying is that, as developers working constantly on many
 different kinds of WP implementation, we're convinced that a very large
 proportion of uses of custom post types will want to make use of an
 automatically-populated, corresponding template (or part-template) for
 each type. To us this just seems like a no brainer: not least because the
 automatic distribution of relevant queries to template files, as already
 fully implemented with taxonomies, is one of WP's most helpful, nay
 indispensable, features.
