Describe the solution you'd like

Personally, I would go with no MVVM framework at all. Possibly just keep ViewModelBase with minimal INotifyPropertyChanged impl and link to our documentation explaining other possibilities

I understand the desire to be more like WPF that only offers the blankest of canvases, but that's pretty inconvenient for end developers. I would probably not use avalonia-dotnet-templates anymore and would either: 1. create my own template or 2. find a third-party template provider. I frequently create new Avalonia projects to experiment/verify and the 3-5 minute savings per project with Mvvm Toolkit out-of-the-box does add up. Once I get invested in reinventing part of the wheel, I'm probably reinventing the entire wheel.

What about having no mvvm by default in xplat template, but an option (--usemvvm) to include Community toolkit MVVM?

[stevemonaco]

If the template option still generates and wires a basic Mvvm Toolkit app similar to today, then that's sufficient.

Having an additional option parameter makes sense, yes. Even though It makes templates more complex.
