Zope has DTML and Python, both of which will stay. You will have the option of using Perl and XSLT methods pretty soon.
Ooo Ooo - XSLT? Presumably I should read your sentence as "You will have the option of using Perl as well as XSLT methods pretty soon" and not "Thou wilt need Perl to get XSLT methods" ? :)
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.
This is a good point Chris - it's got to be likely that more Perly people will migrate to Python rather than vice-versa isn't it? I mean if you already know Python, you're hardly likely to start doing your work in Perl are you? :)
Sheesh, it's like we'd recommended Microsoft in here or something. :-)
