[Zope] ZPT: ready for prime time?

[Dieter Maurer]

Hello Zopistas,

we are before a big redesign of our Zope Site

   http://www.european-e-business.com

The complete Look&Feel will be changed and we will switch
from the Zope oldie 2.1.6 to the latest Zope version.
The GUI will be developed with DreamWeaver.

We are currently facing the following decision:

  *  do we use ZPT/XHTML for presentation
or
  *  do we stick with the familiar DTML

The designer told us, he (and his tool) can handle both.
Thus, it boilds down to:

      ZPT/XHTML				DTML
      
    modern approach		    in the future, probably only
    investment in the future	    used in niches

    in flux, probably unstable	    stable, we know its strengthes/weaknesses
    maybe, missing features
    (e.g. batching)

    poor documentation		    quite well documented by now
    e.g. loop variables,
    TALES variables


What are your experiences?
What do you think?
