Cake needs is to be the best framework in the world, it does not
"need" anything else. While a killer app is nice it is not a
prerequisite of being the best. Have a look at how many people have
downloaded Cake and you will see that things are moving along nicely.
Also, have a look in the archives of this group. You might find your
assertion has been made before. At the end of the day, CakePHP exists
because developers are free to develop their own app, not have one
dropped into place. There are many reasons why developers are
constantly choosing to proceed this way and one of them is continuous
improvement. It is much harder to continuosly improve an existing
product.
For example, the move from Mac OS9 to OSX or Windows to Vista. Both of
these examples were complete rewrites of the underlying operating
system and gui. They chose to do this because they were being bogged
down by issues with backwards compatibility and supporting legacy
systems, not to mention some of the new ideas just would not work with
the old base. The web works even faster than the offline world and
just as you now realize you need something more than wordpress,
tomorrow someone will realize the need more than you "killer app".
CakePHP, itself, is under constant and continuous improvement. A
"killer app" will not exist for long if it has to support an existing
userbase and backwrds compatibility. It is much better from a
developers standpoint to use the resources available to continue to
innovate along with the framework. So in essence, we dont need "a
killer app" we need Inflector::pluralize('killer app'); and these come
from developers becoming "killas".
Bake on.
