A for charge option sounds good, with caveats. It most definitely shouldn't be based on Mozilla, it's too slow and heavy (sorry ActiveState). It should be cross-platform. This is starting to sound like a job for Python isn't it. Also the price shouldn't be exhorbitantly high.

Howdy folks. AndyM is running a poll over at ZopeZen:

OK, on to the discussion. Are those numbers *really* accurate? I gotta admit, though I've had a soft spot in my heart for the Zope Studio thing, I'm stunned that it would be in front. Much less so *far* in front. Are these results an accurate reading of the sentiments -- that given the list of choices Andy presented, a Zope Studio is so much more popular than those choices!?!
Wow. Let's try a different tack. Pretend there was a for-free Zope Studio and a for-fee Zope Studio. Let's say the difference was either like ActiveState's difference (personal use vs. professional use), or say the difference was in "Professional" capabilities.
Does anyone think there would be any moderate-sized market for a for-fee version? How many of you would pay a few hundred bucks for a high-quality dev/authoring/admin environment for Zope?
