Well, it is a starter kit, which implies that it provides a number of useful features for RTS games. The template is necessarily generic so that you can add the core functionality for your game. Unit selection and movement, the chat HUD, camera, etc are nice features. It, however, does not include any specific RTS functionality for the ways in which units change or strategy AI as these are strongly game dependent. That has been one of the major criticisms leveled against it. The other was a consistent update path to TGE 1.4.2 and 1.5, though there are a number of teams that have made the transition. It is also documented on the forums, though not as fully as some require.
I felt that it was a worthy purchase for my learning purposes. I was (and am daily) learning TGE more and more and it was an extremely helpful step in helping me understand some of the system setups in TGE.
