Zope/Plone are web application servers. Dabo is a desktop
application framework. They really don't compare at all, except that
they are all written in Python.

I just changed the ability to edit a page to only authenticated
users. If someone wants to edit the wiki, they just let me know and I
add a basic login for them.

Frankly, I already had Zope running, so when I wanted to add a wiki,
ZWiki seemed like an obvious choice. So far it's been fine.

The questions are fine. The confusion lies in the fact that everyone
is creating web-based tools, and nobody is paying attention to
desktop development. While web apps are much sexier these days, there
are still large numbers of businesses who run on desktop apps, and
who don't want web apps, no matter what you can do with AJAX, etc.
We have focused on the desktop. The others are pretty much all
focused on the web.
