Beautiful.

Awesome! Want more of those!

Custom page classes really aren't a "view" layer in any form, and I suggest keeping all markup generation code within /site/templates/ and subdirectories within it.

Would love to know more about how you implement the view layer. Components with several views.. Controllers for url segments and stuff like that...

And about Repeater Matrix page classes. There were discussions to have custom classes for RM types... Is this possible?

In line with this topic, I recently expanded AutoTemplateStubs to include ProFields Stubs. There should be stubs for FieldtypeTable, FieldtypeTextareas, FieldtypeCustom and RepeaterMatrix (including stubs for all types).  I haven't created a PR yet because I wanted to test it myself first, but since it fits so well with the blog post, if anyone would like to help with testing: https://github.com/phlppschrr/AutoTemplateStubs
