First of all comparing a php framework with big open source project is like comparing apples with... airplanes! The symfony crew is mainly two people and I have been subscribed to the mailing lists for several months now and do not see many people contributing to the actual framework (plug-ins, yes, but not much framework features). So, how much money they make from this I do not know and do not care because they deserve any cent of it.
My point was, it is not perfect and if you want to make it better you create improvements or patches when you see fit. Also, what so much was wrong with the framework that made you go behind schedule? Anyway, too many "users" in what should have been more developer driver community...
