Many people think they are successful until they extending, altering the 
zclass later :) I know several people who call have never touched a bit 
of Python but have done zclasses and are mostly happy with them.

Yep, be amazed. I'll happily wax on why people use DTML if you want my 2 
cents but it is extremely popular and used by many people. And sworn at 
by many more.

At an initial reading of your proposal and this thread, yes. I will go 
through and read it again (Since you've already stated a user can do 
DTML and ZPT objects).

Luciano is correct, we are probably the worst people to be asking since 
we make up a very small and highly specific sample of the users.
