For me I will choose CakePHP for its great implementation of MVC Concept and its flexibility. You even use other Zend Libraries in CakePHP.

Zend V/S Symfony is a good debate. Kwiqq a social networking agency based in Brighton, UK. working with clients like Oxford University Press, Thomsons Holiday, Hansard society etc have decided to not use Symfony for future client projects: http://blog.kwiqq.com/2008/08/12/announcement-bye-bye-symfony-hello-zend/

See, I think my outtake is the exact opposite. When working with a package such as symfony or cake, I get hardly anything accomplished. I like refactoring, communicating with peers over how to solve this issue, and well just enjoy problem solving. That's just my outlook though.

Will, the framework is wonderful. Keep up the great work.

Interesting. I think a lot of people would agree with you; tooling tends to 'coalesce' a framework significantly. We're actually building a tooling framework with the goal of not compromising our component-based approach. I'd be interested in your take on it.

Thank you Stefan. "Component-based Framework" is the right term for Zend.

You need to consider the difference between a Component Framework and a Full Stack Framework. Zend Framework is definitely a framework, but it's a component framework. It offers certain components to use in your application. Symfony is a full-stack framework, it offers the full environment in which to develop. The fact that something isn't a full-stack framework does not automatically mean it's

ok zend framework have all the rules that a framework should have, such as "dont call me, i will call you", or "dont repeat yourself" etc... It is designed cleverly, which brings PHP to new level, that proves PHP is a real object oriented language like J2EE, or ASP.NET etc...

For me, what is missing in ZF is some kind of environment, tools. You should feel at home when you are working

This is a comment we get all the time- the Zend Framework is not a framework. And others say that it is. I'm interested in what your criteria are for a framework. Could you please elaborate?
