Well, as the weired man at zope list I think Zope will be better, as 
every project in the world
Zope has its advantages and its disavantages, as every project in the world

In my opinion the main Zope disavantages is its own architecture ;-)

Programmers use to thing in Model View Controller, Singletons, Adapters 
and so on but Zope is (always my opinion) a object tank were they 
(objects) can live and this part was the most dificult to understand to 
me (some years ago)

I use (as all of you know :-) ) Zope in not a regular way but it works! 
Some parts are not finished as I would like but some others are totally 
finished as I would dream some days ago (before to know about Zope)

I don't need to work with the finished parts I need to work with the 
unfinished. Perhaps Zope community don't understand the way you want to 
use Zope but you don't found any community without this kind of 
problems. If we work together every day in the same place problably we 
understand ourselves better but open source has this kinds of issues...

There are a lots of think I would like to do better and easily (for 
example search for my last threat at the list) but Zope is Zope and the 
Zope community has its owns plans. Give thanks they put Zope as open 
source because if not you need to program a lot of parts of your every 
day work

And the worst solution is always here: go to php or RoR or ASP.NET or 
what you want. Every plataform has its advantages and its disadvantages

Or you can start a Zope fork but you need to understand much better what 
Zope is and how Zope do the work (and I don't believe that you could do 
it for now)
