> DTML is ugly

Only if you use it as a programming language. Its quite simple and elegant
for templating.

> ZPT gives you only sometimes the line number where your typo was.

So the issue is more the debugging than anything. I'm starting to like ZPT,
its quite nifty, but still mostly use DTML.

>     <h1>%s</h1>
>    </body>
>   </html>
> """ % (mytitle, myheading)

Sure if your python programmers do the html. What happens when you start to
nest list of items in tables. Every mixing html / python or perl project ive
seen has ended up a total unmaintable inflexible mess after a few months and
few different developers.
