Was not expecting to find so many hard to find features under the hood. Like being able to copy HTML via selection or xPath. Super dope. Icon is bunk though

Why do all the reviews for this extension end around 2016? Did everyone switch to a better tool? I installed this years ago when COLT (copy link text) stopped being available. I like Template, although the name is annoyingly generic, making it hard to search for. This ext seems like it's more complicated than it needs to be, when you first get it up & running. That said, I enjoy that it has some advanced features, I just haven't been willing to put in the time to figure them out. Also the documentation/guide/examples are fantastic-- if you can find them. Took me forever to realize there was more info on other tabs (but maybe that's just me).
