Nate, Thank you for asking for such feedback - it's very infrequent that developers ASK what people don't like, rather than just getting annoying people blabbing about what they don't like. Both situations garner great feedback, but one of the two typically give nicer, more friendly responses. :)
What I don't like: ...Community: - No support "forum". I still have a perpetual license to Invision Power. If you guys want it (CakePHP team), it's yours. - No yearly "Give Back to CakePHP Day". I think it'd be nice if once a year, the Cake team made a big fuss over people donating things back to CakePHP; either monetary donations for server costs, test coverage, tutorials/articles, or code. - No web-based chat connection to IRC (can be helpful, but not necessary) Bug Reporting: - Requiring tests submitted on all bug reports. I know I've found a bug, but I've been unable to create a functional test report, and as such my report was closed. I'm still working on trying to figure it out, but it's almost been 6 months, and (what I believe to be) the bug still exists. I also understand WHY this was incorporated, but if something's very easily reproduced with instruction, is the test case truly necessary? Cake Bake: ...don't get me wrong, I LOVE the bake tool, but... - No skeleton behavior, plugin, component, helper options in the creation tool - No conventions on shell-based output formatting and maximum character line length (shell output helper?) Miscellaneous: - PHP4 support: I don't know of any companies right now that can't handle upgrading to PHP5. I remember hearing about a fork and then phase-out of PHP4 code, but sooner rather than later would be great. - Difficult to define configurations for different hosts (dev, test, production); I believe Rails supports this, we do have Fredistrano though - No timezone setting in configuration for PHP's date_default_timezone_set() which could (potentially) alleviate many confused users getting "incorrect" times in their created/updated fields Thanks CakePHP team!
