I've been doing PHP development for 7 years and I've been using CI intensively (I know it inside out). But now I've been sold to Rails and though I'm still building PHP applications (and probably I will keep build PHP apps forever, cause the market wants them), I need the fast development, the DRY and the KISS approach, the convention-over-configuration setup and the ease of use of Rails. CI doesn't cut it... :( I'll probably give Cake (though I'm concerned about its models - I've seen some bad implementation that ruined DB access) and Symphony and see which one provides what I need. How about you - did you stick with CI? Yeah, I’m in the same position now, as you used to be. I’ve been doing PHP development for 7 years and I’ve been using CI intensively (I know it inside out).

How about you – did you stick with CI?
