So, still no more reasons other than use of GoLive and tidy namespace calls?
Don't get me wrong. I really really appreciate ZPT and all your effort in
it. My company is likely to start to use it because we DO have design nerds
who use GoLive or Dreamweaver or something. It's great for us! But at the
moment only I know (a bit at least) ZPTs and now people who are getting to
understand DTML have to learn one more thing.

ZPT people! Do you feel that working with Page Templates is
easier/better/more convenient than working with DTML *?
