websites. It's reasonably easy to convert a modern Zope/CMF
application to :mod:`repoze.bfg`.
+The main difference between CMF and :mod:`repoze.bfg` is that
+:mod:`repoze.bfg` does not advertise itself as a system into which you
+can plug arbitrary "packages" that extend a system-supplied management
+user interface. For those sorts of high-extensibility,
+highly-regularized-UI systems, CMF is still the better choice.
+
+:mod:`repoze.bfg` (and other more lightweight systems) are often a
+better choice when you're building the a user interface from scratch,
+which often happens when the paradigms of the system-provided user
+interface don't match the requirements of an application very closely.
+Despite the mismatch, a good number of developers tend to use CMF even
+when the UI requirements aren't a very good fit, because it happens to
+provide other helpful services, such as types and skins; this tutorial
+is for those sorts of developers.
