The gain, as someone else mentioned, is that it becomes easy, almost trivial,
to extend your site with any of the hundreds of products that are all written
to the same framework. 

And getting a Zope instance running is double-clicking an executable installer
under Windows, no webserver needed. A central site would be managed by someone
with Zope knowledge (I already volunteered to host it), so that's no
counter-argument either.
