    Most of my experience is with Cake. I love the bake script and now that it is in Final release, it will be interesting to see if it takes off. I really want Cake to incorporate jQuery rather than Prototype/Scriptaculous. Sure there are workarounds but jQuery is so lean and rich that having it in-the-box would be invaluable.

      Gotta agree on the Prototype comment. I chatted to the original creators and it seems they created prototype for a project and that project is now done so they are not actively working on Prototype any longer - unless someone asks (pays) for it. Fair enough. But I wouldn't go building on Prototype unfortunately. It was my first library and I still think it was fantastic.

    I'm really curious to see how CodeIgniter does once ExpressionEngine is re-engineered on top of it. A full featured and well supported CMS could really push CodeIgniter to new heights.

    Listed as both a CMS and a Framework, i've chosen to include this as well. It's a great quick solution for a lot of smaller sites that need a CMS and basic (and some not so basic) functionality.

      I'm curious - how is Symfony bigger than CakePHP? I know it's "heavy" in the sense that it has a lot of overhead. Is that what you were referring to?

    ZF has a lot of great classes, but what I love most is that I can incorporate them into my workflow in either Cake or CodeIgniter
