Mine is not a respectable comparison of Web frameworks, it is
NOT intended to be so. It is just a set of notes I kept for
myself and that may be or may be not of interest to others.

This is clearly not true, since I could use these frameworks
without using their templates if I wanted. It would be very
stupid to dismiss an entire framework only because I dislike
its templates.

Look, there are already tons of pages on the net ranting against
Zope, my complaints are quite common and I have no interest
in repeating what has been already said. For instance, if you
Google a bit you should find the rants of the Quixote people
against Zope. I share their position.
I did not talk about TG because I see it as being very close to
Pylons and everybody is saying they will be unified in the near
future, so it would be a waste of effort to discuss TG per se.
