speed issue is gone, as are layouts (though you can still use them, if you
want). I still use FB3 every day (using a slightly modified core file), and
it's great. FB4 is way better. I still haven't really found a reason to
modify the cores, there is just so much flexibility available to you.
Of course, that certainly doesn't make it the best framework for everyone.
If you really want to leverage all it's got to offer, you really need to be
using an MVC (or MVC-like) structure for you applications, and that's not
for everyone. It's also got a steeper learning curve.
