There was a pretty good article in this month's Linux Journal that was
mostly editorial about the advantages/disadvantages of various web
frameworks.  The "At the Forge" article.

The author summarized Zope similarly to your comments -- great when you
need the complexity, too complex when you don't.

He seems to like the latest Ruby on Rails stuff.  I can't say whether or
not I agree yet, but I did pick up a copy of one of the books on Rails
and have a project that I need to do that is a database-driven website.

So far, in a couple of partial nights playing with Rails, I like it.  It
helps me create stuff I would never take the time to write from scratch.
 I'm just a sysadmin, not a coder really, and it's nice to have the
"scaffolding" to start from.
