Plone is still disgustingly slow but it is feature complete. One thing to 
consider with Plone/Zope/ZODB stuff is in case you store large files for 
which the ZODB is simply not designed (yes, they end up in memory as do all 
BLOBS in all DBMS). There is a solution for this if required.

I have experience with XUF which does this.

I would stick with the default skin, initially. It is probably the best 
thing about Plone that is not Zope. Alexander Limi really understands 
interface design.
