Still in the open source area.. im totally impressed with ASP.NET MVC 3.

Excellent documentation, .NET powering up with libraries and controls.
Medium difficulty learning curve and AMAZING capabilities.

Zend Framework has more components, but Cake is lighter, faster and easyer to learn.
With cakephp u can develope applications very fast and the "bake" function is also a very useful feature of cakephp. Thats the reasons why I choosed cake for my last project.

I absolutely love ZF. I did made it as a coding standard in our company. I built our own framework on top of ZF, and it’s fantastic. The only reason that make “ZF” bloat as what other people say, they just don’t know how to do it. It may be hard at first, but when you examined closely, ZF could just be the best.

Who else knows better how to build a faster framework for PHP other than the ones creating PHP?

I like Gavin William’s comments. I have used both cakePHP and ZF. Cake does a lot of automagic stuff which is sometimes hard to track down in the code, but it is very quick to get something running, like a CMS. The documentation on Cake is great, better than Zend I thought. In any case there is a lot of documentation in the code base and a pretty good IRC channel, not to mention quite a few blog posts out there from the cake community on how to achieve certain tasks.

What I don’t like about Cake is too much of the automagic stuff, as someone mentioned the classes can be very heavy and the cache will burn you a couple of times at least Also not that keen on all the sql queries to build model classes from the db. But thats just personal preference and mostly those are minor issues. It is awesome to get up and running very quickly with an app and the codebase is considerably lighter than Zend.

I really hate cake. If you are new to programming or php maybe it is better for you, but as a seasoned professional, I hate the automagic way it does things. It is very cool when you build the tutorial, but when it comes to a real application, you will end up pulling your hair out trying to figure out how it does realitvly simple things. I like Zend, if you know what you are doing it lets you do it faster, not hold your hand and never let it go.
