So, I'm serving static content like Apache, I'm interpreting file types
like Apache and I'm using .htaccess files like Apache. But I'm using Zope.
Why am I not just using Apache?
Would I be learning this beast that is Zope?

P.P.S. I think Zope is great in large part because of the ZODB, not in
spite of it
