  CakePHP

  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.

  CodeIgniter

  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.

  MODx

  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.

  Zend Framework

  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

  Symfony

  Way too big.
