I agree it is complicated. Newer versions of plone keep you further away from 
zope but there is still more to know than  you would like to. I had to buy a 
book to help me understand how to use it.

On the other hand, it provides a lot. All the site structure is just there. 
There are add on products for just about anything you could need, including a 
wiki.

All in all, it is probably overkill for a small site, if something easier to 
use was available that provided all the features required for the site that 
would be a better option.

Maybe the thing to do is so compile a list of features needed to properly host 
the site.
