A lot of their reasoning is solid but part of it sound like classic 1.1 issues. They note some of it in their google spreadsheet.
Reading partly between the lines it sounds like they don't like Simpletest, the cake shell and php4 limitations (=ORM with array- data). With that one has to understand that they compare Cake's roadmap with other frameworks and feel that they will be better served by a framework with, for example, object-based ORM today and not at some point in the future. @jburns, @Okto I have been building stuff with CakePHP for almost 4 years (on and off) and I can still recognize the worry you guys express. "Will Cake survive?", "Is everyone abandoning the sinking ship?" and thoughts like that can easily crop up when you hear things like this. Back in 2006 the question was wether a "rails ripoff" could survive at all... Cake is still here among numerous "competitors" more or less inspired by Rails. Just remember... The Mozilla team are not (afaik) the driving force behind CakePHP. They have been big users and probably quite big contributors. They have provided a real-world showcase and test-case for big deployments that have probably helped find optimization bottlenecks and things like that. Also, in relation to the whole li3 thing, the last time CakePHP had a "big crisis" (core members disagreeing in public in early 2008 I believe) it ended up kickstarting the final push towards 1.2 stable. Mark really started to make himself known as THE driving force behind a lot of the work and improvements and bug fixes sped up. CakePHP is like any open project... some people leave as others join and the fate of the framework is up to you guys, me and anyone who cares to make any contributions they can to it. You can and certainly should consider other frameworks, that is just good sense. But you hopefully chose Cake for a reason and I hope that reason was not that Mozilla used it :) Also, a lot of what you learn now will translate quite well to other frameworks. /Martin On Nov 18, 5:07 am, Okto Silaban <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe some of you haven't heard about this.. > > Just FYI, AMO (addons.mozilla.org) now still using cakephp 1.1.
