Well, I was not that fast (took me 6 month until I tried it), but I never 
did ZClasses either. I like the cleanness of Python too much. I did not 
follow the entire discussion, but I think if there are the right tools like 
mk-zprod (discussed on the other thread on zope-dev) with a nice front-end, 
then we can make the learning curve less steep and encourage people to 
develop "real" products in Python. ;-)

In fact, in a couple of minutes I will release the first version of 
SmartWizard, which will allow to write nice front-ends like that.

Regards,
Stephan
