The don't really take the features away, they move the problem to a proper templating/code generation language. These are language neutral so you don't have to learn a different one for each language, they are often more powerful too. IME the code they generate is a lot easier to deal with than templated code.

In D, you can run full code at compile time and then include that string into the file: So it is it's own code generation language.
