Ah OK, that's better then!

Indeed. As does the existence of a framework in the first place - but it
saves developer time and makes things easier to maintain which is the whole

ZF to make life easier (ie. default view template names, etc).

In Rails, for example, you can specify table and field names to get over
this. As long as ZF has this kind of flexibility all will be fine.
