I only read the extract, but... I disagree. If you are delivering content via Zope then you sort of have a point. Isn't that what the CMF is supposed to do? When writing an application, I 'want' to build my own UI. It should definitely not be part of the core to a point where I have to use it.
I agree that there are some occasions when you need your own UI, but for the most common *backend* tasks, a standard UI is sufficient. Moreover, I introduce in the article the concept of skins : you define your own gui, and you apply it to the definition file of your product. This would give sharable UI among all your products (even the standard zope products of course). This would be a lot more flexible. And having a standard UI to start quick product prototyping would certainly not hurt.
Sorry if the extract choosen was not totally self-speaking.
CMF already has skins that do that. :^)=
