In my previous blogs I used blogs from OurBlogTemplates.com. With the new Blogger designer, I switched to the Blogger-made templates, and simply customized according to my needs (split the header, changed the comment text, etc., added more navigation options, etc.)
As with Spindoctor and Anu, I am using an old template from 2007, 'Scribe', and have customised it, and dread the thought of having to remember what I did and try to repeat it again with a new template.
Nothing I seem to be able to find quite suits what I would like, and while the new blogger template designer is a good start, it has far too many restrictions and hidden useful information, as far as I'm concerned.
I would like to decide what pixel width to choose, and not have limits enforced upon me.
It would be wonderful to have a template designer that can take whatever template you've already got, customised or not, and manipulate all the normal parameters. My Scribe template can't be changed now by Blogger's designer.
And what a dream if a template designer started like Photoshop with a blank white canvas, and had drag and drop items such as columns, headers, footers, widgets, and the lot, to build it in front of one's eyes to one's own desires! Whatever widths we want, colours, fonts, you name it. Just drag and drop.
And then have it actually display in all the major browsers identically to the wysiwyg it gave after the designing was done!

I shall dream on...
I loved the new blogger template designer. Very easy to use! and very fast to make changes.
i started with a template from official blogger template and now it's heavily customized.
In fact, I use the old blogger template because I've edited it so heavily that do not want to have to do it again with the new template tool.
