CDlatex (Carsten Dominik)latex

Was introduced in the 90 (96 I think) as a single simple file that
covered most of auctex functionality regarding inserting latex commands
(there was no compilation or error scanning etc etc). As the author
states it is template based not hook based and was faster when it was
introduced.

I think it is still maintained, but not actively developed and has nowadays be
included in org mode. I still use it even in latex files, for which I
mainly rely on auctex.

BTW Carsten is also the author of reftex (which is now part of GNU
emacs) and org-mode, that is also part of GNU Emacs.
