It's true, I'm biased ;)

Zope is better, Plone 3 is better, Django is better, Python is better ..

the problem is, that a lot of folk just aren't familiar with it. It's a
very different paradigm to what a lot of php coders are used too, and a
higher initial learning curve for stuff like zope/plone3/django.

So you want to build a pyramid? do you:

1/ go with the 200 workers with a pick and shovel

2/ or go with the 2 workers with a jackhammer and bobcat

:\

Me, I'd probably bet on the 2 workers with superior tools in this
instance, but they would have to work their arses off! that's the other
problem
