Sonce so many people are bashing DTML nowadays I feel the need to +1 on this
and on the referenced article.

When looking into customising Plone and CPS for instance, I find that many
ZPT pages look to be as hard and tedious to follow as some of the my own bad
DTML pages are.

This is no bashing of ZPT mind you, I just think that if DTML is being
misused, then it isn't DTML's fault. And I am sure that ZPT can be misused
in a similar manner.
