I also like DTML a lot, found it way too easy to understand and simple to use.

I wonder how DTML is more easy then an equally simple python expression in a script? Lazy people should love ZPT since it saves a lot of typing compared to DTML - otoh, a general rule seems to be: beginners tend to write overly comlicated code.

it was that simplicity of DTML that made me choose and use Zope over PHP in the first place.

if dtml is to be phased out, Zope will be less attractive for new users then soon will be irrelevant no matter how sophisticated and advanced it may become.

No, it will not phased out. Neither in zope2 nor in zope3.
