Indeed. Faassen's law states:

   Nomen simplex est omen contrarium

meaning that anything in Zope containing the word "simple" is actually 
quite horrible and complicated (cf. SimpleItem, SimpleViewClass, etc.).


(P.S.: Using grok.View for template-based views makes a lot of sense to 
me because the template essentially describes the "view" whereas pure 
Python-based views are more like controllers in other frameworks.)
