Joomla is not a template system, it's a CMS.
Where CI is controller driven, Joomla is theme driven. Which means the joomla engine loads the theme template, and while parsing the template it does callbacks to fetch the pieces of data that need to added to predefined sections of the template.
ExiteCMS works that way, and uses CI modules (like mini apps that generate a single 'panel' on a page, instead of an entire page) to generate the page content.

My template library will go a long way towards helping you build a decent system like Joomla's.
