Wouldn't the TGP CMS stuff have the same security issues?
And again...if a person has the creativity to make a script built TGP look different, then why not just build it? God knows I caught enough grief just for messing around with WYSIWYG's in the past.
Is it just a lack of knowledge on html?
toilets have the ability to clog and overflow, that doesn't mean we need to all dig holes and have a shit in the ground. Scripts develop exploits but automation frees up resources and helps with day to day activity.

TGP owners don't use scripts to achieve a look and feel, the use them to accept galleries, post galleries, remove bad galleries, etc. I'm not sure why you would confuse this with look and feel or wysiwyg editors?
