MVC Frameworks (PHP)

I’m on a learning quest again.  This time to get a solid PHP framework under my belt.  I am installing the framework and running the quick start tutorials for each of them, if I get that far.  This is what I have right now (keep in mind my investigation is in progress):

CakePHP

Pros:

• Very easy to get a simple app running.
• Scaffolding is great
• Documentation is extremely thorough.

Cons:

• Seems like database names have to follow some kind of convention. (i.e. Inventory would not work)
• Getting REST JSON interface going seems like a lot of work.  I haven’t found a page that explains how to do it easily.

Zend (in progress)

Pros:

• Insanely popular, the engine is already on 1&1 (I think)
• Really good object-oriented approach, interesting idea with form & layout objects
• zf code generator is a nice touch.
• Looks like PHPStorm has the command-line stuff built in – also for Symfony

Cons:

• Ridiculously hard to get running in a shared host. (Needs a vhost to work, apparently)
• Lots of code.  Not a big deal, really, if you know what you’re doing.

CodeIgniter

Pros:

• Scaffolding is neat, but REMOVED in 2.0
• nice OO layout
• Fairly compact
• Looks like view names and table names are not hardcoded! Yay!

Cons:

• PHPStorm doesn’t seem to like completing 3-level objects (lots of @property tags needed)
• v2.0 scaffolding is gone
