Amen!

- consistent object model
- a map of the damn thing, with a poster of same which you can hang on your
wall can meditate to
- consistent interface syntax you can learn in 10 minutes and then repeat ad
infinitum as you explore the map
- "apples-for-apples" examples with side-by-side scripting language use
  [VBScript, JavaScript,PerlScript, PythonScript, etc..]
- a welcome mat for all linguists
- a copy of ZIAN [Zope-In-A-Nutshell]
