Page Templates
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before but for new users, creating new page templates is somewhat complicated by the fact that you can’t simply click on a “create new page” link as you can for form and style templates. Is there any particular reason for this or could we have the same facility?
I’m coming at this from the direction of installing a pre-designed theme and trying to explain to the user that they first have to copy an existing template to a new name then copy/paste the theme code into the newly created template. Seems a little over-complicated to me. Anything that can simplify this process has to be advantageous methinks.

“Create New Page” would be much friendlier.

Re: Page Templates
Nice idea. Always been annoyed by this. At the same time it would be good to rename the Styles tab’s “Create or load new style” to perhaps “Create new stylesheet”.

Re: Page Templates
It is definitely useful to be able to save a copy of a page template, but not very intuitive for creating a new template in general.
The way that you create new templates/forms/styles is a little muddled in general with the positioning of links (where present) to create new stuff; it’s on the right-hand-side for forms and the left for styles and as Jonathan says the wording could be improved. A little more consistency would be nice!
