We did several projects using Zinc and regretted every one. We kept
running into .dll errors and they kept issuing updates saying they
were fixed, which they weren't. Worse yet, if you complained in
their forums your post would get deleted.
I had high hopes for v3.0 because they rewrote from the ground up and
claimed that the .dll errors could not happen now. Nope. We still got them.
We finally said enough. They got our money to upgrade to v3 but
they'll never get another cent from our company. I would turn down a
project before I even considered taking one that required Zinc.

Likewise (I seem to keep saying this) I have had a number of serious
problems with Zinc over the years, and our company has had to migrate
away from it.
