On a different subject, but still with the usability issue for developers, I 
was thinking it would be nice to have some easier to use comment system for 
DTML code, for example for:

<dtml-if foo>
something here
</dtml-if>

now you have to use the rather long <dtml-comment>  </dtml-comment>, it would 
probably nice if you only had to do:

<//dtml-if foo>
or
<#dtml-if foo>

And that would comment out all the code within that dtml tag. We could still 
use the <dtml-comment> tag for multi-tag commenting out.

Anyhow, I know I am off the topic here, I just brought it up before I forget. 
Thanks to all who replied; sure helps enhance ZopeZen ;-)
