I just wanted to post a thank you to the Cake team for being such brilliant people. Also a big thanks to everyone in the community helping everyone in their own ways.
Note: Sorry, I think this turned into one of these Cake vs Rails posts. I ran across Rails in the early fall of 2005. Thought the concept was great but could not justify jumping onboard with the poor hosting support at the time. Found CakePHP a few months later and have been using it on an off ever since. From time to time I have been tempted to take another peak at Rails. They do have a lot of strong hype, after all. So, recently I had a reason to do some more serious revision. A new project, in-house hosting, possibly a lot of traffic one day. I spent a few days looking into Rails again. I was totally ready to make the jump, Ruby-books in-hand. CakePHP once again came out on-top, v1.2 had a lot to do with it but the community and documentation played a big role. * Cake has great documentation - I see a lot of complaints but I have taken a look at the Rails API-docs, IMHO horrible by comparison. The docs can me improved and more complete but they are not that bad when you consider the next point on my list: * Cake has a great community - So does Rails but for Cake I see more snippets and focused, relevant tutorials. Most of the questions I get in my head already have answers (here, in a blog, the bakery or the forge). * Cake has not yet taken any backward steps - To me some changes in Rails versions are steps backward. E.g. the way scaffolding has changed. Cake has yet to disappoint me in a feature-change. Rails has a lot in its favor. But for me the docs and the community surrounding CakePHP reassures me. I am of-course not impartial by any stretch of the imagination. But I still thought I would share my opinions. cheers !
