Interesting. See, when I compared Zope to Django, I found Django's extensive documentation and feature set to be perfect for prototyping, and then optimizing bottlenecks at a later date, either via C extensions, raw SQL replacement etc. However, as 'cliché' as this may sound, most large enterprises tend to steer towards the most complicated, most bloated, most difficult to use "technologies" there are around. Take Microsoft CRM, Java and *anything* RHEL based as a clear example (others may disagree, this is just my opinion as I'm a hard headed debian/python guy ;p)
