I also banged my head against CMF for the longest time.  The trick to
understanding it is that in CMF the user environment is the developpment
environment.  So log into CMF, then try to develop.

That said, I believe CMF is overkill for all of my projects.
I do not have a separate tree of content to present, and a separate tree of
people who submit content.  As a recruiter, every person has one resume, so
there is just one tree.  So CMF is overkill.  I do plan to use the login
manager.

And then CMF adds so much junk to my system, I can no longer find anything.  For
example the permissions page becomes huge.  So I happily deleted CMF.  And I
lived happily ever after.

On a different topic:

I just completed www.pythonandzope.com, and I would love some feedback.
