This question is a bit like "What's your favourite colour; triangle or banana?" It's largely a matter of interpretation, habit and opinion. Or "Who's the best looking actress?".
I don't measure Cake's qualities on how popular it is or how many support questions are raised. I measure it on its ability to do a job for me and my clients. It's still my go-to-framework and I'm looking forward to v3. Perhaps others are better or faster, but that would take time and effort on my part to go and discover. I also only consider the performance of the sites I build, not the tool itself. Cake is just a tool. In the wrong hands it could be a dog, just like any other toolset. In the right hands it could be the best, just like any other toolset. I remember asking the same question not long after I adopted it (v1.1 perhaps?) when some core members left the team. It didn't die then and it isn't going to die now. It's all good.
