You hit on a point that I consider important. One of the interesting things about ZCML (and hence BFG) is it's easy for any Python developer to write their own directives. ZCML doesn't violate DRY, as I once thought it did, because if you find yourself writing repetitive directives, you can just create a custom directive in Python instead. Unfortunately, Grok obscures that simplicity. It seems much harder to add new kinds of decorators than it is to add new kinds of ZCML directives. The benefit of Grok's decorators is further diminished by the fact that people who develop with Grok generally have to use ZCML anyway in order to understand and extend the code Grok is built from.
