Three problems with HomeSite as the Zope IDE that I see:
1) Closed source, proprietary product;
2) Produced by Allaire which also produces Cold Fusion so you're 
feeding your competitor ;
3) Only runs on Windows.  Right now the only reason I have to run 
Windows is Delphi.  I don't want to add another reason <g>.
