@Al: Yes, I agree with you. The documentation is still a weakness of CakePHP.

Well I have tried CakePHP and it’s one of the most problematic and poorly explained frameworks I’ve seen. If they did a better job at explaining how to get going (instead of cryptic theory of how it works) I would have accepted it a long time ago. CodeIgnitor is much easier to get a grip of.

[...] two of the core developers, Nate Abele and Gwoo, left the project lately, many feared the worst. Now it’s different story! The CakePHP core team decided to move the project [...]

@Benko: I don’t think CakePHP will go away in the near future. However, I think the mid- to longterm future of CakePHP depends on how fast the adoption of PHP 5.3 is.

Hopefully this isn’t the beginning of the end. CakePHP is my goto tool for web development.

@snowdog: RoR is definitely worth a try ;-) On the other hand, CakePHP won’t disappear in the near future. So if you like it, use it.

@poLK: a) Yes, it was rather a forced resignation, at least from what you could see from the outside. b) I don’t know what happened internally, but I agree with you that having secret projects in a team is not really good for the team spirit. From the outside, what irritated me most
was that there were three different versions under development. I mean, if you have limited resources, then it just doesn’t make sense to work on three different versions…

@cakebaker: yes, from my angle of view you are wrong in several things. A) PhpNut did not resigned as lead developer (lead change was done by other way). B) team problems did not stop even when Code Advisor tried to stay silent in edge situations able to damage project/community. I am sorry to say that, but my opinion is that resignation of Lead Developer and Project Manager should happen right after announcement of CakePHP core project, developed in secret for months without knowledge of nearby half of core development team, including Code Advisor.

Looks like I will have to start listening to my team and switch new projects to RoR. I really liked Cake…

@All: Thanks for your comments!

@Fabio, Tarique: Personally I thought the team problems (and with it a possible fork) were resolved at the time when PhpNut resigned as lead developer. But obviously I was wrong…

@Nate: Good luck with the new project.

@Nik: I fully agree.
