You must not believe Chris in all cases.
Very often, he has very drastic views...

I have successfully build complex applications with ZClasses,
back in the time when Zope did not have the "refresh"
feature and the CMF.
Nowadays, it is almost as easy or even easier to build Python based products
for content base classes and use CMF skins for presentation.
And such a solution is more efficient (ZClasses are quite slow)
and easier to extend and reuse.
Nowadays, I rarely use ZClasses.

However, this does not mean one should not (under no circumstances)
use ZClasses.
