[Zope] commercial versus open source

[Bill Kerr]

has anyone written an evaluation of the dreamweaver / asp / php / flash
approach compared with the zope approach ?
I don't know much about it myself
I'm looking for something to find out more more myself and to show to
colleagues who unthinkingly are going down the commercial path
looking for something analytical and substantial that would stand up to
scrutiny and help me identify the key issues
ie. separation of presentation from logic but going into it, not just
stating it
meanwhile, I'll keep learning zope and python, which I'm enjoying btw
thanks!

ps,. here's an extract from the mail that prompted this question
prices are educational (I'm a school teacher)
pps. I'm chucking in asp and php because someone told me that dreamweaver
supports them
