For what it's worth, I've been using ZPT (the syntax that Chameleon

one should be drinking.
Heh, been using ZPT syntax for 9 years and "the act of template blows". I
have a blast templating in Mako ! :)
Seriously? A blast? If so, my hat is off to you sir.
I hate writing UI with HTML and CSS, period. I don't think any
templating language is going to help that much. I mean unless maybe it
can grant me "special favors". ;-)
Meld or Twiddler ftw!

In order of rusty-spoon-kneecap-removing preference:
- ZPT, any sane implementation thereof
- Django/Jinja/etc and friends
- Mako
But, as mcdonc said, it's marginal, they all suck in different and
special ways. My gripe with Mako is that it's too easy to generate
invalid html, my gripe with ZPT is that it's *hard* to generate valid
CSS/JS. Of course, Tiddler is awesome, shame it's unmaintained and
performance sucks rocks through straws - so yeah, I would choose an
amusing bleach grade, but there aren't any:

Anyway, back to trying to get mysqldb to compile on yet another
operating system... *sigh*
