Zope has DTML and Python, both of which will stay. You will have the option of using Perl and XSLT methods pretty soon. If you don't need them or don't want them, don't use them. There are lots of people for whom this will be a natural entry point in to Zope. You happen not to be one of them.
I was a little puzzled when I first read the announcement, but after reading the FAQ I think it sounds like a great idea! People who are comfortable with perl will be able to create complete through the web Products in perl/dtml. People who are big fans of python aren't forced to use those Products, but I think you can bring a lot of people into the Zope fold with this.
Sheesh, it's like we'd recommended Microsoft in here or something. :-)
Can Active Server Pages and VBScript be far behind? :) Kevin
