I've seen a lot of tutorials for Illustrator and not one that I remember uses the template option in the layers dialog.
By using this option you are able to go into outline view and the picture you are drawing is still there and you aren't limited to switching back and forth to no fill and fill which can be time consuming, distracting.
Not a big deal, but for me it's the first step in creating accurate vectors from photos or scans.
Yes you could use the outline view if you were tracing many different areas and creating a lot of objects. Good point. But you may need to switch back and forth once in a while to see the colors, too. And creating a very complicated trace would defeat the purpose of this, which is to create a simpler look. Setting the Fill and Stroke to None and then tracing one object, then changing the Fill to black, isn't any slower than switching to Outline and back. But it would save time to use outline view when there's many different objects that are placed on top of each other, since you'd have to change the visibility of the objects on top. So setting to outline would help in more complicated traces with various objects, different colors, on top of each other.
