For the record, I work for an Enterprise and would choose no other framework
for our work here, even though I'm a fan of other frameworks.
And while it has been overused, I believe the connotation for most people is
that Enterprise means lots of employees helping the company generate lots of
revenue. In the US these would be your Fortune 1000 companies. Just my take on
the word I guess.
But then again... we lost the word 'hacker' to misuse as well...

Ugh, what the heck is the word enterprise
<http://terrychay.com/blog/article/enterprise-scalability.shtml> suppose to
mean in this context, anyways? I'd attempt to actively avoid the following
buzzwords, especially in slogans:
* enterprise
* web 2.0
* agile (this one isn't quite as bad as it has a more clear
definition)
These buzzwords can mean many things to different people so don't
really communicate much when used in a slogan. With enterprise, for example, I
doubt the majority of ZF users in-fact work in an enterprise-size company.
"Enterprises" may, in fact, be the target market for the commercial end of ZF.
However, we have a vague notion that if it's for "enterprise" it must be good.
But, since we don't work for an enterprise-size company, we don't really know
what those aspects are so not much is really communicated here other than,
"it's good" which doesn't carry much substance. In other words, if your truly
saying "enterprise" to directly target actual enterprise-size companies, that's
fine. But it comes across more as targeting those of us who don't work at an
enterprise-size company but think that it must be good if it's good for
enterprises. I think there are a lot of great things to be said about ZF that
are more substantive.
