I agree that there are some occasions when you need your own UI, but for the
most common *backend* tasks, a standard UI is sufficient. Moreover, I
introduce in the article the concept of skins : you define your own gui, and
you apply it to the definition file of your product. This would give
sharable UI among all your products (even the standard zope products of
course). This would be a lot more flexible. And having a standard UI to
start quick product prototyping would certainly not hurt.

Sorry if the extract choosen was not totally self-speaking.
