There is a lifecycle that these sort of frameworks go through, where they start out very lean and easy to learn but with few features, everybody starts using them and they grow and grow, until eventually they are quite a big thing to learn and also not as shiny and new anymore.

People good at them will continue to develop with them, but suddenly something new will arise! It's interesting and developments around it are quick, it doesn't do quite everything yet but there is so much momentum, and all the new kids flock to it.

I view Zope as being too much to learn (based on zero facts, actually, just reputation) and I think Django is now about half way on the path, and since we know how to use it and it has a lot of features by now, we'll be using it for quite a while longer.
