Ha Ha, I appreciate your comments!<br>
<br>
I have found grok to be an amazing RAD tool for two reasons:<br>
<blockquote>a) It provides you with all the power of the Zope
Component Framework (ZCF) without the pain of having to use ZCML
(Zope Config XML) and<br>
b) It's just so easy to adapt existing code as requirements
change<br>

I refuse to be an apologist for the ZCF- it's an amazing achievement
by some great Python coders, and well worth learning even if you
never use grok. I think a lot of peoples gripe with the ZCF was due
to the use of ZCML for site configuration for Zope-3, and I don't
really think Pyramid gains a whole lot by hiding the ZCF from
developers.<br>
<br>
Anyway, thanks and good luck,<br>
