Great, yet another application-specific database-diguised-as-a-tool without half the usefulness of a real relational database.

Well, Zope is built upon a nice general-purpose object database--it's not like they (the Plone people) rolled their own data structures from the ground up. Zope is cool and there's a lot you can do with it. If you absolutely need to query your CMS database with SQL, though, Plone probably isn't for you.

> nice general-purpose object database

There's no such thing. An object database will always be application-specific, and will never be nice.
