Also +1 on the BS. Plone is a solution for lots of use-cases but it is not 
a solution for all-and-everything. Keep in mind that Plone is (easily 
spoken) a skin with with some business logic at implements CMS 
functionality on top of a huge pile of frameworks. Compare it to an iceberg 
(one seventh of the iceberg you'll see over the waterline is Plone and the 
rest are frameworks under the hood). Complex application scenarios often 
don't match with the Plone  use-cases. Therefore it is better to build in 
such cases your own application on top of CMF instead Plone. And once 
again: don't sell Plone as all-in-one device to every customer - that's 
unprofessional. A good consultant/developers knows when to use Plone and 
when not to use Plone.
