I quess Zope is more "object-oriented" as it is based on an OO language.

OTOH, said OO language itself has been implemented in OO and non-OO 
languages (java and C) ;)

Don't know

Probably the less flexible one ;) I don't know which.

There is currently a 2 Gig native (Zope internal) database size limit. 
This won't apply when you use external database or sore files in file system.

Bot are wll supported on Zope. Dunno about Midgard.

Zope has integrated a lot, so does PHP - you probably find most popular 
"other technologies" supported/supportable on both.

Probably Zope (this is a Zope list)

The one you know better :-p

I guess they are about the same. The one that will be used more will 
eventually be safer due to more eyballing.

Both can be configured to be insecure ;)
