Well, its called Zend Framework, isn't it?
Or perhaps I've missed the release of Zend Component Toolbox?
;-)
Beside that, using it as a MVC framework is not so easy, the M is missing...
I know, I know, the M is up to you or you use Zend_Db but it's not quite
the same. But then I wouldn't it call a MVC framework alone, at least
not a complete one.
I mainly use it because of the components and they always stated that
you can use every piece of it independently, right?
I suppose like many others do.
MVC is only a design pattern, nothing else. If you write software it
shouldn't depend alone a desgn pattern, should it?
But more for that in my next answer.
Cheers,
Nino
