Actually, after I'd done a couple and understood the interconnectedness of all things, I found it really quick and easy. The Zope framework _easilly_ makes up for the added work over ZPublisher.
You have the advantage you know ZPublisher, I think. I just dove in straight away. And you're right, inclusion of the product in the Zope framework is very useful and nice.
The only thing that bugs me is the tedium of setting up the creation and editing forms. It seems to me that Zope aught to be able to generate them on the fly, perhaps with a few hints in the class. Am I out to lunch on this?
I'd like some automatic generation of these too. However, I think there's a limit on how much one can automate this. A product class might have all kinds of subclasses which need to be set up in the creation/edit form, for instance. But some basic automation to get at least something going would be nice.
