Well a Zope app consists of a heirarchy of various types of objects, with a close relationship between the heirarchy and URLs. It does a pretty good job of using the objects to separate content, logic and management.
For example you can create "page templates" that are 100% valid HTML (and hence editable with anything that understands HTML), and yet can invoke scripts written in Python or Perl. This is good for an organization that has both layout artists and coders working on the same project. Also it's real handy that you can do just about anything with Zope thru the web interface, though you'll want to use a real editor on the larger pages and scripts (supported via ftp and webdav). Main downside I see so far: admin documentation is severely lacking.
