The discussions I had where about how ZF integrates with different methodologies, not just TDD. A framework can define processes by providing tools to help developer implement different methodologies.

I spent a month developing 6 components for a social networking site that used tags as its main navigation system. And believe, we had to develop some really interesting algorithms. So I'm basically concerned about this stuff, should we focus on this things or not?

I'm just re-transmitting other people thoughts and comments. Based on what they told me, a lot of them upload and resize images, an none of them, for example, use free web services in their commercial projects (except for Amazon and PayPal). So, my question, shouldn't a framework solve this issues? Isn't that one of the purposes of a framework. Because you are suggesting a "build it yourself, it's quite easy", and I'm sure they can do it, they are very talented people, but, do they have the time to build it? That's the thing about contracting, you move from one place to the other one every 2 or 3 months, and you meet a lot of developers, and you work with a lot of different frameworks.
