Copied from issue 220439: Liza, I was wondering about this panel for a while. I think its current design is too fragmented and cumbersome. For example some templates can be accessed via second radio choice "Select Archive" and some under third one "Download Online Template". That's strange, no? especially if you look into details: second choice allows me to enter URL of a remote template to download and third choice can contain "Cordova" which is not online template at all. Another aspect of radio button based UI is that in order to use let say "Initializr: Bootstrap" you have to do two clicks: first enable third category and then select the template. Could we improve it? I can imagine a single list with all templates (locally defined by user or online ones; origin could be differentiated via an icon). The first item in the list would be "No Site Template" (or "Empty"). The last item in the list would be "Select Other..." which if selected would automatically popup a dialog to enter URL or Browser for local file and confirming that dialog would simply add the item to the list of templates and selected it. What do you think? In long term; for 7.3 it is too late.
