Amen to all of that. WRT the "Framework" name: "framework" is a misleading name for the collection of packages salvaged from the "new Coke" effort: it is actually a *bunch* of frameworks, in the classic software engineering sense, along with some "pure" libraries. The notional "Zope Framwork" is alos *not* what other Python web developers mean when they say "web framework": Grok and BFG fit that meaning. Zope2 is really an "app server" / "pluggable application", rather than a "web framework".
