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'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.
