Imho, :Template('foo') is a lot more elegant than $c->stash->{'template'}

Anytime I have to futz with hash contents that control functionality in
other things that I didn't write (like Views), it feels dirty...akin to
altering $self->{'option'} =3D 'foo' instead of doing $self->option('foo')

Just a personal preference, but I always prefer api (methods) over hash
molestation.

Just me being neurotic. :-)
