I really hate zoning.
My #1 problem with Half-Life 2 was the zoning. I don't think I ever even finished the base game because it seemed like I was facing a loading screen every 5 minutes. Skyrim kind of annoys me too. Maybe I'd be happier if I bought a solid state hard drive...
I would have to hope that whatever the technical hurdles are, they can eventually be overcome. I don't know that there's any game-mechanics reason to have zoning. I think it's purely an issue of graphics memory (texture sets).
