Even for the seasoned Python/Zope coder, ZClasses have a sweet spot
that cant be beaten by any other zope technology.

[Zope-dev] ZClasses useful! [Was: ZMI / JavaScript brainstorm]

Chris, please stop that dissing of ZClasses. They are *very* useful indeed!

No, not so much for the seasoned Python/Zope coder, but for the content 
manager (remember, Zope is a CMS after all!). I have successfully taught 
ZClasses to people who would not easily grasp how this (disk-based) Python 
stuff works, simply because they are content managers not software 
developers. And, IMO, they should not even need to care.

I sure hope this part of Zope's audience is not forgotten in Zope3. I have 
always considered it a strength of Zope to allow "unskilled" users to 
create and deploy dynamic websites.

We can fight this out at the BBQ if you like ;-)
