Perhaps not.  Not yet.  For example, we have no equivalent to CVS for
objects in the objectbase.  This is why filesystem products are so
attractive for apps with lots of logic.  But combining the two approaches I
think can provide you with the best of both worlds.  TTW changeability for
presentation, and filesystem base classes for traditional development.  The
ability to test TTW stuff (particularly DTML methods) with ZPublisher.test
allows for traditional unit tests.
