I am a quite happy user of zope 2.9.x, although most likely my 
application will have to be ported to tomcat (using jython) in the short 
term.

I keep data in MySQL, I had to replace most products with Extensions for 
lack of support, didn't use the TTW classes. I use little of the zope 
API and no roles (I use my own security roles in the database) .

I like the ZMI, error_log, Zope DB Adapter, ZSQL, and Python Scripts 
which hide the web machinery from me. I like the easy access to the 
running environment for testing and maintenance purposes. I love the ZPT 
and Python.

I have a nice UI/BusinessRules/DataAccess architecture that makes it 
easy to do maintenance at minimal cost. It is very easy to jump in and 
fix/improve code, especially considering I only do it on occasion.

There are of course limitations to this environment, in particular for 
developers that need all the file system tools for development and 
collaboration. But has it stands, it is very cost effective for some use 
cases.

I don't know about ZTK, Grok.
