Condenser also has a lot more stuff that a good boilerplate wouldn't need. Steemit a blogging platform on top of STEEM, not everyone has the same use case. Let's say someone wants to make a tic-tac-toe game on top of STEEM, condenser is a terrible starting point. By limiting it to blogging, people are not being innovative and are only copying what already exists.
If someone starts anything like a boilerplate on github, I'd be really glad to help on some stuff
