This issue is one I stumbled on today, while digging for other things. What strikes me about it is how well it captures a list of files, who did what, where each file was at when it was uploaded, etc... all with the existing OpenOffice.org web tools.
That's the good aspect of IZ.
Each tool has pros and cons. Each one makes different trade-offs. The pro of IZ compared to Plone is that it more readily shows you the file's history.
The pro of Plone compared IZ is that it is easier to navigate, and to organize documents in a hirarchical way, etc.
For example, the user guide contains several guides, each of which contains several chapters, each of which may be up for review, a draft or published. IZ could not easily show these dependencies.
But in any event, yes, this is a good reminder that IZ has its pros too. IZ is not a bad tool. It just makes its own set of tradeoffs.

IMHO, I think what we use (Plone I guess) is vastly superior. The ability to have sub-folders and stuff (as Daniel says) is much better.
However, as much crap as issuezilla gets from users, I think it is excellent for handling bugs.
