Haven't we all.

When I wrote mine (HRL), the 5 million web page systems out there
seemed all to be either:

A. Intricate frameworks like Zope with a maniacal insistence on
separation of content from presentation (not that that's bad, it's
just a lot of unnecessary overhead for my needs).

or

B. Template systems with very little versatility.

These days there seems to be more coverage of different needs.  For
instance, Mako looks like something I might have used if it had been
around back then.
