Never used GUF, so I wouldn't be that much help :/
Went from straight UserFolder to Membership :)

Login manager is fairly new, and ZPatterns, which it sits upon, is also in a state of
evolution. As a result, not many are experienced with it, and little documentation exists.
There are reasons these aren't released > version 1.0 ;)

As for learning how to use them the source and the zope-dev list would be good sources.
IMO, discussions on them, especially at that level, belong on zope0dev fo rnow. Others may
not share that opinion.
