It does yes. But developing on the file system only is possoble with
Zope2 as well, of course, so theres not actual difference there.
However, typically with Zope2 you end up using CMF as well, and
although scripts and ZPTs are stored on the filesystem there, CMF
treats them as if they are not, and hence you have security
restrictions, which means you have to use restricted python, and then
you have to trick yourself around that, and so on forever...  ;-)
Easier to just have plain Python all the way.

Well, that was all a part of the ideas they had for through-the-web
development, and that was put on hold to implement other stuff. With
file-system development only, you don't need it. :)
