Oh! One other thing. A clearly negative thing about ZPTs is that it seems more difficult to learn and understand. I.e. the usability of ZPT is worse than DTML and I know that exactly this is something Zope.com does not want happening to Zope.
I don't actually agree with that. I reckon once ZPT starts appearing in more books, you'll see newbie's using it more and understanding it more easily than DTML.
My empirical experience has been that DTML reminds you of the way PHP, ASP, JSP etc. works: <input value="<?%= variableName %?>"> ZPT takes a sligthly different approach. Secondly, ZPT "code" tends to be a bit longer (in amount of characters) and Python advocates don't really like this.
