Oh don't misunderstand me. I am just about getting over the "Zope wall" and
it has been well worth the climb.
Everything is so much faster than in any other system I program in. OK a
hitcounter I could probably do faster in php or asp, but that's not really
the problems I try to solve.
For real world web application I have yeat to see anything beat Zope/Python.
You just got to accept to do it the "Zope way" or you will be in a world of
pain. :-)
People like me who has used asp, php etc. for years has better forget what
we know when starting on Zope, and then take it 1 step at a time.
Sometimes in the process I have been so tired of Zope and tried to think out
a smarter way to do things and then after having a heureka moment when I get
a brilliant idea, I have nearly allways thought a little bit harder about it
and discovered that Zope usually does it that way allready.
So learn to live with the quirks and Just Do It.
