I think that's a Zope Documentation problem ;-)

FTP support is not good enough to use for total site development.
It's also not at a high enough level for content managers as I'm
currently finding.

Sorry, that's simply not true ;-)

Text boxes are pathetic for editing. Find and replace?

That said, DTML is probably more of a human rights violation right
now...

I think Zope Studio will address a lot of the aboev problems, but I
can't help feeling a pluggin type thing for Dreamweaver would be of
great benefit too :-)

From the content managers point of view I think it's all about
consistency of interface and ease of use... the two reasons I still use
WinNT on my desktop instead of LINUX ;-)
