Ultimately still might be worth looking into creating our own templates for common console app style applications. For example, with TopShelf I don't bother creating Windows Service template applications any longer. I just create a console app, include TopShelf, Unity, NLog... and instant no-fuss-no-muss self-installing, dependency injected, easily logged Windows Service.

I like using NuGet: TopShelf to control the service because it's a little more friendly than Visual Studio's default service manager, but even the default one works fine.
