[Zope] WYSIWYG editors? (was: SOAPMethod)

[Tom Von Lahndorff]

really? It looks like the number one argument for using ZPT is  
because it's compatible with "DreamReaper" and "GoDeath".

If people use it for other reasons, great. I think WSYSIWYG editors  
are total crap for many reasons so Im with you on that one. I guess  
the problem is that rarely does anyone point a reason that someone  
should use TAL over DTML so I think my assumption is fair based on  
available documentation. Whenever someone posts something about DTML  
(which is not being deprecated, is not slower as far as I know and  
does have some benefits over TAL depending on what you're doing) they  
mostly get a comment like "Use TAL, not DTML". Why? Frankly, I dont  
care how people choose to develop their products, there's benefits  
and drawbacks to both TAL and DTML but I would tell someone to try  
both and decide and not just tell them to use what I prefer.
