What I have been missing lately is a bigger diversity in the templates. Frankly, the templates are more and more looking like template for a photographers online show.
You have a point there. Our demos usually show off everything about it that has to do with images. However, usually what ends up happening, is that a developer will pick a couple image-centric particles and replace the rest with text. Our demos are largely one-sided, though. I see your point.

I've been building more webshops with RT themes lately. I still wonder why the RT team never create a practical and good looking "Terms & Condition" page? Or many other text-heavy pages? I am talking about more of the unsexy stuff.
There's actually a whole section of the demos in Gantry 5 templates that plays with that. Take a look at the Layouts area of the main menu. For example:
http://demo.rockettheme.com/live/joomla/denali/sample-layouts/fullwidth
You can get an idea of what a text-heavy page would look like, and we even include these layouts in the presets. All of those are pretty much just text. Very rarely do we use images on those sample pages.

I am starting to question the RT philosopy here. I find myself spending more and more time to customize the template for "real life use".
I'm sorry to hear that you're having that experience. We'll definitely be discussing this internally and see what we can come up with in the next few themes.
