Yes it is. Zope uses it with several threads.

AFAIK, this could be done by accessing ZOPDB via Zope and XML-RPC.

Since objects of ZODB are python objects you can do everything with
them. If you change a dictionary or a list you need to set
self._p_changed=1.

Don't know. I think because only few people understood object oriented
programming. Most people don't feel imprisoned if the data gets stored
in a relational database.
