[Zope] mixing python and DTML is hellish!

My empirical experience has been that DTML reminds you of the way PHP, ASP, 
JSP etc. works:
<input value="<?%= variableName %?>">
ZPT takes a sligthly different approach.

Secondly, ZPT "code" tends to be a bit longer (in amount of characters) and 
Python advocates don't really like this.
