Description

Pre-built providers are pretty awesome - much faster than running cdktf get.
Should we switch all the templates to use them?
Seems like for new users getting started, faster experience is better. However, I could also see it's also good to introduce the concept of building modules that aren't available.

I agree and I think @skorfmann is on board as well (#360 (comment))

Yes, the templates should be reworked to be provider independent, and then promote the usage of the prebuilt providers.

The templates are independent from any providers for a while already and are promoting the use prebuilt providers. Furthermore, we have remote templates now #645 which enable the usage of custom templates.
