+Why Use Zope?
+==============
+
+Zope applications, libraries, and frameworks are suited for different 
+purposes and environments; each has a set of strengths and weaknesses.
+
+Zope is Mature
+------------------------------
+
+Zope's robust technologies are born of 10 years of hard-won real world
+experience in building production web applications for every level
+of organization, ranging from small nonprofits to large enterprise systems
+and high traffic public web applications.
+
+Zope's groundbreaking innovations over the years led the way in demonstrating
+the practicality of powerful software patterns, including object databases,
+object publishing, and component architecture.
+
+All the applications built using the Zope Framework benefit from this maturity,
+For example, the older projects, the Zope 2 app server as well as Plone, 
+both increasingly make use of the newest Zope library versions while still
+maintaining the feature set that makes it useful in heavy production settings.
+
+Meanwhile, younger Zope web frameworks such as Grok and Repoze.BFG,
+leverage the mature Zope Framework libraries to bring new ideas to web
+development.
+
+Designed for Automated Testing
+--------------------------------
+All the major Zope frameworks and libraries are built around a culture of
+automated testing.
+
+Scalable Performance
+--------------------------------
+Applications built using the Zope Object Database can benefit from
+ZEO Clustering, which allow multiple applications to share a single
+object database.
+
+Persistence Options
+---------------------------------
+Zope applications traditionally benefit from the use of a mature
+high-performance transactional object database called ZODB, which increases
+developer productivity by avoiding the complexity of a relational database
+layer.
+
+However, relational databases (RDBMs) are also a popular persistence option
+for Zope applications, and good options exist for using object relational
+mappers such as SQLAlchemy and Storm.
