I use Zope since around 2001 and I still have some Zope 2 web
applications running and they are just rock-solid and easy to update.
I have never been convinced by Zope 3 and I have never seen any advantages for using the Zope 3 techniques.
The
Zope 2 core developers (I think Andreas has worked for Zope
Corporation) created a mature product - and I still love it for its
flexibility and the speed of development once you understood the core
concepts.
However, web development has been changed in the past 10 years. But for future projects I look for new python based products.
PS: Sorry, my former message can be deleted,I forgot to change the subject.
