When looking into customising Plone and CPS for instance, I find that many ZPT pages look to be as hard and tedious to follow as some of the my own bad DTML pages are.
ZPT is far superior to dtml! I have recently made the switch, after 3 years of dtml, and I must say that I was very pleasently surprised. Initially I believed that zpt would be more verbose. But that is not really the case. It is also much easier to read the code, as all the tags add up. It is especially metal that makes the biggest difference. Metal is just so brilliant. It makes it possible to create layouts where you only need to define your visual elements once, and you can re-use them all over your site. Which means that you can create a skin for a complete site using only 2 zpt's and a css. That is *so* brilliant. regards Max M
