I think this is certainly the case.

Zope 3 is on par with the .NET and J2EE platforms in feature-set and
(potential) market positioning.  There are dozens of books on those
platforms, along with a marketplace of developer tools, third-party
training materials, etc. It's going to take some time for the
community/market place to fill in the usability pieces for Zope 3.

Until then, my recommendation is that early adopters use this list to
post questions/comments. I've tried to set a good example of being
fearless when it comes to stupid questions :-) -- and I've only seen a
willingness to help from Jim and cast.
