Midgard is a PHP and MYSQL integration.  Midgard uses MySQL the way Zope
uses ZODB, as well as relying on MySQL for the things that Zope can use
other databases for.  I would assume that Midgard is a logical step for
those coders that are used to making database-driven dynamic web pages
with scripting languages, and is probably intimidating to those that
don't come from that background.

On a brief overview, Midgard seems to want to exert more control over
your approach to content.

Well... Zope is object oriented, transactional, can interface with a
variety of databases, uses and is written almost entirely in python. 
The web-management seems more robust, but I could be out to lunch.

Midgard (should be Midgaard or Midgård) is the Norse word for the
material plane, as opposed to Asgård (the realm of the gods).
