If you have good PHP skills, then I wouldn't worry too much about the documentation. I have been learning both Cake and PHP over the last 18 months so have had a steep(ish) learning curve, mostly because of my lack of PHP skills. Cake is pretty easy to use, especially if you invest a little time looking at the API. There are also a lot of excellent tutorials and articles available to supplement the manual. And if all of that fails, then you have a large and helpful community in this group, and the IRC channel. I rarely hit a problem that I can't resolve on my own these days, either through PHP documentation, searching this group, or the related blogs/articles. Regarding learning "MVC": Just spend a day Googling MVC to get a handle on the basics, then working through the basic Cake tutorials. It is easy enough to pick up the structure and the naming conventions. I found that building a couple of the sample apps made it clear to me. In short, I wouldn't let the documentation issue stop you from using Cake. It just has too much going for it.
