Quite rightly. Though w3m is far better. ;-)
And here we have to deal with people that know nothing and care less about most what us technically oriented people interests. They will eventually decide for the solution that gave them the best impression. What forms that impression has of course many facets. However it's about a zillion times easier to impress with a nice face than with a nice program structure.
Which is why we should be sending those people to zope.com (the salesmanship site) or to a beauty contest site. Zope.org is a Developer site. I would not disagree at all that there ought to be beauty sites; including zope oriented beauty sites. (Which is why I proposed a "Am I Hot" series of links.) I certainly think it appropriate that zope.org have a disclaimer at the bottom of the page stating that: "This site is oriented towards making the experience as speedy and useful as possible for developers and daily users. To that end, it has a deliberatly stripped-down design. Our shameless commerce division is at http://www.zope.com. ____ and ____ are some examples of designer oriented zope sites." Jim Penny
