Java, on the other hand, has had five years of the biggest industry
investment of "not-all-inclusive", and yet has to come up with a 
development environment that matches Smalltalk-80 (there's one, but
that is not usable in the projects you sketch because it just started
supporting J2SE). Zope is already way beyond that and has actually
added new concepts.

Zope needs a /lot/ of work, especially in the direction of supporting
software development inside the system (rather than content and a
bit of SSI, where it excels now), but it is much more promising and
interesting than this whole Mainframes'r'Us J2EE stuff.
