A few years experience with it - both using it 'barebones' and working 
with cmf-based apps like Plone and CPS. There are quite a few very 
interesting and/or clever things in Zope, and a lot to learn from it's 
strong and weak spots, but in it's current state, Zope2.x is layers 
above layers of ill-documented base classes and not-always-that-clever 
hacks. And Zope3 - which is indeed way cleaner - seems to be wanting to 
be more xmlish than any Java thingie ever.
