Frankly, I'm a little surprised that this isn't a problem for more people, 
given the drawbacks of having to give up many of the existing tools, having 
the application server only be able to export in a proprietary format, and 
being bound to the application server for so many development-related 
tasks. It's impossible to do a simple grep through the code, for example ...

I'm trying to reconcile this, as you might see, because I want to use Zope 
but am having a hard time making it work for me.
