Confirmed, I use it daily with great delight, so thanks for creating
it!

Some things indeed do not work, for example I usually get errors when
trying to reload code in plone portlets.  When errors like that occur,
or I notice some other problem that might be cuased by bad reloading,
I do not even think about it but first restart Zope to see if the
error is still there.

For a small zope 3 or grok application the startup is already small
though, so it may not be useful there.

Cheers,
