I.e. I start with a template and most likely end up in a template.
Am I alone on using templating objects for URL-hitting objects?
Not at all. Both patterns have their place, and making code objects primary is a relatively new idiom.
I use about an 80% - 20% mix on my sites so far. Many of form URLs are Python Scripts. The rule of thumb for me is if I have more than one <dtml-if> in the first 10 lines I make it a python script. YMMV
I think that it has more to do with the rise of Python Scripts, although part of the Page Template philosophy is to avoid embedding non-presentation logic.
I've only played with ZPT so far. What I would really like to do in my Copious Amount Of Spare Time (tm) is to port www.wejustrock.com from DTML to ZPT and make source for both versions publicly viewable. I think that would go along way to educating people on ZPT. Unfortunately I'm not even a level 1 ZPT mage.
