Am I alone in this thought? No, you are not. My company have almost committed to using ZOPE, but one thing we had to overcome was distrust of the name. Somehow "StoryServer" seems to convey more than "zope". Fortunately, we've overcome the name prejudice.
The problem of a world conditioned by marketing... For me the knee-jerk response goes the other way... I distrust advertising to the extent that the flashier and better the name the less I'm tempted to even _look_ at the option. I expect well advertised and marketed products to be useless piles of fluff or to (best case) have been forced to release at least 3 months before they were ready and consequently be bug-ridden and unusable for the forseeable future. Zope is a good name. It's getting pushed by people who use it and have found it useful, not by marketing hype or fake (paid for) reviews. Zope is a much better name than Bobo.
