There is a empty MVC and Webforms project. Your wall of text of rant is basically due to your own ignorance. The option for empty project is there. I can't figure how anyone can miss it.

But the empty one has nothing in it. I want the happy middle, not EVERYTHING or NOTHING.

So not my ignorance as you delightfully say to a person with probably vastly more experience than you, but my frustration. I would actually like to see the way they think you should do things with each new version.

There is one called "basic" that is your happy middle: http://i.imgur.com/gIllZf5.png
Well, now I feel silly.
You can create your own customized project template. Even the Express version of Visual Studio lets you create project/item templates.
