Is Plone that difficult?  I am working with "The
Definitive Guide to Plone".  Not in the advanced
stages yet though.

I didn't know about TurboGears and Django but I'm
looking them up right now.  I was learning Perl for a
while.  I have used some PHP-based CMS but I am
learning Python and thought I would try to go that
route.  Plone/Zope has a lot of books written about it
and seems like it doesn't have many limitations.  I
figured that the large number of published books about
it was a good sign...
