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.
