I just wanted to open this up for dicussion this has been something that
has been troubling me for awhile.

Will plone survive if people picking up web development for the first
time prefer php, django, rails or .net to z2/z3?

Why do we care?
I care in the short term because its hard to expand a business without
developers. Clients face the same problem. If they are cluey their
criteria for picking a platform will included the availability of
development resources regardless of how cool the technology is.

but in the bigger picture open source survives by attracting new
developers. If there are no new z2/z3 developers then plone will die
right?


What's the point here? Complex frameworks require solid know-know.
Like in any other framework the number of really good people is small compared to the number of "average" coders. Even average developers should be able to deal with some training and good documentation with Zope 2 and Zope 3 technology. Not sure if and how you want to address the dregs of the developers community in some way.
