No. They came up with marketing ;)

Oh well, you cannot compare them in equal terms.
I know TG and Zope3 for instance, and I've chosen the former for the 
limited scale of my project.
If I were to design something bigger, or were looking for a job and were 
proposed to work with Z3 with people that already know it, it could be 
worth to go back to it.

TG or Rails or Django have no magic dust, they just make a lot of 
assumptions (RoR even more) that bigger frameworks don't.

I discarded Django because its ORM was not flexible enough, for instance.

Heck, I don't even know if Rails has support for compound primary keys 
yet, many applications would be horribly complicated by that.
