The templates do two things: 1) They add the articles to a category that lets editors know that more work is needed for those articles. 2) They draw attention to the area that needs more work.

What's the big deal about having an article be marked as a stub or incomplete when they are short or not finished? Personally, I prefer having a clear symbol that an article is unfinished, and needs more work, rather than having to guess which articles on the wiki need work.
