[Zope-dev] IMO ZClasses should stay

[Stefan H. Holek]

I have handed systems with a thin ZClass layer on top to semi- 
developers and they were *easily* able to take it from there. These  
are people who would never have grokked (and bothered with) disk- 
based Python development and all the mumbo-jumbo it entails.

No other system has anything even remotely like this. People are  
*blown away* by the power of building objects TTW (define some  
properties, write a few scripts and templates, done!). Take that RoR,  
Django, Vignette, Broadvision, ... ;-)

Of course ZClasses have their limitations, but I fully agree that  
this is first and foremost a documentation problem.
