I find ZCML really easy to read and write. I have usually no troubles finding 
anything or adding something.

From your previous comments I gathered that you simply take a different 
approach and I agree with some others that I do not like it that much. I 
prefer attributes instead of tag elements.

Note also that ZCML is extremly modular at this stage. You simply define a 
schema that describes your directive and then make a meta directive 
implementing the directive. It is super easy and really nice.
