Zope 3 is a complete rewrite of Zope 2. The idea is to make the architecture easier to use, understand and extend through the use of components and interfaces, thorough unit testing and documentation, and taking the time to do it right.
Although it was a major departure from Zope 2 when Zope 3 was started, many of the technologies are being back ported to Zope 2, both because they are useful and to ease the transition into Zope 3. Thus the difference is slowly getting smaller. Zope Corp has said that the intention is to make it possible to write products that run under both Zope 2.9 and Zope 3.
