When I chose to start working with Zope, I also
evaluated Frontier. To me, the automatic use of
templates seems natural and convenient. It allows the
delegation of content creation without the writer
having to know *anything* about DTML. If you use
Structured Text, they only need to know a little
structured text, no HTML.

It would not be difficult in Zope2 to create ZClasses
that automatically use a default template.
