Good quote :-) I agree. Besides, ASP.Net involves far too many depencies (IIS, SP, .Net framework, MDAC, IExploder if using proprietary browser features, etc.)
Have you seen a security framework for PHP?
No idea. I don't know enough, hence my looking for infos. Besides the acquisition mechanism, is Zope's security features the only features that should make me choose it over PHP or other languages (Perl, etc.) ? I'm not being sarcastic BTW, but simply looking for significant features before making a decision :-) Thx again Ed.

Well I have found python far easier to develop with then any other language so far. I have also found it has the lowest long term maintenance cost of any other language I have worked with so far. Zope also has a standard user system and there are many custom user folders that will auth against many kinds of sources and integrate with the security system which I feel is extremely important. Zope also has a lot of products for various things you might need and I have found that they are easy to install and get running. Some things like session management are built in now and they work easily. Overall I am not really sure what you mean to be major features since I think those I have stated are very major features. I don't think python can be overlooked as a major feature since more time is spent in maintenance then inital development.
