Agreed, the FAQ could be updated to include this. However, there are
no objective answers to questions of preference like this.

Q: Why choose Midgard over a plain scripting language (PHP, Perl, etc)

A: Midgard provides a ready-made framework for implementing web sites. 
This framework includes permissions handling, site templating and 
separation of content from site structure and several other features. 
In addition, Midgard provides multiple easy-to-use site administration
and content management user interfaces, including Aegir CMS, Asgard and
the PHPmole IDE. Using an existing Content Management Framework enables
site developers to concentrate on the actual site implementation instead
of having to reinvent the wheel.

Q: Why choose Midgard over Zope

A: Both provide stable, well-performing and popular Content Management 
Frameworks. The choice mostly boils down to personal preferences on
languages (PHP vs. Python) and user interfaces (Aegir CMS vs. Plone).
For end-user organizations an important consideration here is also 
availability of service providers for these platforms.
