Generics/Templates are not a bad/ugly hack but are a rather clean 
implementation of a different kind of programming style / OO approach.

Both, the "full OO" and the template approach have their advantages and 
disadvantages which are discussed in length everywhere around in the 
web/mailing-lists and it probably makes little sense to spam c't about that.
