From a quick read of the documentation, formish looks nice. It also looks very similar to z3c.form, and has many of the same abstractions (fields, widgets, form renderers, data converters). z3c.form indeed contains some base classes for "model-based" add/edit/display forms, but it's easy to base it on anything (you don't even need an interface, you can just pass it a sequence of schema fields). In this regard, z3c.form is at least a lot more flexible than zope.formlib.
