Well, I've been reading this for the past few days and I am about to
burst, so here goes.

First of all, for all the "I need something to convince my boss"
posts: The best way to convince your boss to use a certain tool is to
build something *yourself* with it. I'm not sure how "Look at what
these other people built with Cake" is going to help you any. That's
like thinking that just because a carpenter built a house with a
certain brand of hammer, that as long as I had the same kind of
hammer, I can build the a house with the same quality and
craftmanship. That's ridiculous.

Instead, why don't you build a small, proof on concept application.
Build it yourself (or with your team) and then show it off. Then you
can blow them away by telling them it only took you a week to do.
That's how you convince someone of the merits of a framework.

Finally, when has a "killer app" ever been built out of someone saying
"we need a killer app". You never start a project like that. You start
a project with a great idea, and it is usually a lot more specific
than "let's build a CMS". I think we'd all be better served if we just
built stuff that we needed, stuff that worked, and eventually a great
application will surface that the community can be proud of.
