Unfortunately, I know exactly no person who has comparable knowledge of 
both Plone and TYPO3. This is probably because both systems are so 
complex that nobody ever bothers to get into both of them, unless this 
person has like a year or two off and scientific interest ;).
I have looked into plone recently, but it looks nothing like TYPO3. I 
don't understand how Plone and ZOPE are related, and Plone uses (in 
TYPO3-speak) front-end editing only, or rather it does not even have a 
backend, does it?

Sorry, I am really interested in this, but cannot add useful information.
