They are very different animals as far as I can rtell. In terms of usage there is nom doubt Zope is more poular, you can tell that by the fact that there are several commercial books published by mainstream publishers about Zope. I know from experiejce that a publisher won't go to print unless they are confident they can sell at least several thousand copies. Howeever Zope is a very big comprehesive web environment, much bigger than is needed for the majority of web projects. My guess is that the most popeular web frameworks just now are Django and TurboGears(*), both of which are much simpler than Zope but offer much of its convenience. As I understand it ikaaro is more directly targetted at the Django type user community than Zope. Zope is great if youneed to build a big complex web site with many visitors each performing complex transactions. (*)TurboGears is really a package of other framework components, most notably CherryPy which has its own independant community and so could therefore be argued to be most popular if you aggregate TurboGears and CherryPy users. But comparing Zope with ikaaro is not really a sensible comparison. Its like comparing Microsoft Access with IBM DB2 as databases. They have totally different audiences.
