I could make the call, but I get the feeling that most people around
here default to PHP, and that's what people who have actually been doing
template beginnings have been using. So unless a strong group of people
who want to use something else shows up and starts doing work in that
language/system at an astonishing pace, it seems to me that PHP it is.
