However it should be noted that actually Symphony is better, although it does have quite a steep learning curve like Zend Framework.

That's a very important point in favor :) I will from now on use Cake. Cheers!

I will admit that my final two frameworks were between symphony and cakePHP. Zend was too loose, and did not have the complete structure as code ignitor, symphony and cake. Code ignitor was an attractive option because it appeared to be easily understood and was super light weight compared to other frameworks but I was turned off that it did not have an ACL system built with it in which I was planning to use extensively in my current project. The top 10 reasons to choose cake are all good points to choose a framework but my number one reason which made me seperate cake from symphony was community support, which deserves to be on the list. Symphony I found hard to configure at first and there is not a strong community to help guide you. Maybe if I was more patient with symphony I would find symphony better than Cake. Both cake and symphony upon review seem very similar I bet someone experienced with both frameworks would say they both can do the same thing the other could do with just different variations. At the end of the day when I had problems with symphony and looked at their docu entation and then typed it in google I was left stumped in real world scenarios it is unrealistic to cease a project for 3 weeks so you can learn a framework.

I tried to use symfony and after 2 hours I still barely understood how the while structure is, the frontend and backend etc.. the tutorials on their website doesnt explain and the whole structure and hence its really a pain. They just ask you to execute a bunch of commands which is painfully hard to remember. Hence, I have gone back to Cake. I personally prefer CakePHP, its easier to setup.
