Well, the concepts are much easier. That is certainly correct.

So, let's say you want to implement a new DA. This will be very easy, since 
you simply have to write an implementation of IRDBConnection for example 
and register it. This process will be by multiples easier than Zope2.

BUT, to develop the service called IRDBConnections and all the stuff around 
for Zope 3 in the first place requires a fairly sophisticated understanding 
of the system itself.

Conclusion: Once Zope3 is done things will be easy. But since Zope3 will be 
mostly implemented by the community, there is a need for people to write 
Zope3 in the first place. And that will require some dedication. :-)
