But, much more interesting and I would like to ask this to the other apparant DTML criticist Ian as well: what do you use for templating (PSP , ZPT , sthg. else?) ? Though stubborn in my support, I haven't said that other technologies less familiar to me are inferior per se - on the contrary! - so I would much appreciate tips to upgrade our apparant 'DTML legacy' in coming projects !
I use ZPT now, as I work someplace we use Zope a good deal, and it allows us to at least keep some things common across the two platforms (Webware and Zope). And I actually like ZPT well enough; it can be a little verbose, but it's functional and predictable and has a complete set of features. And generally, its use of namespaces and and expressions is sane. The expression syntax is fairly nice, usable in a way that's similar to Cheetah's NameMapper, but also allowing arbitrary python expression. The macro system (METAL) is a much better way to apply styles than including headers and footers.
In the past I've used Cheetah some, but not PSP.
