I struggled with the same question for the last few weeks, and finally decided to stick with CodeIgniter for prototyping until Symfony2 is closer to release. The software itself is amazing, but the documentation is all over the place. Very few of the tutorials work with the latest snapshot, because the directory structure has moved around, it appears the key console commands like app:init have been removed, generating an entity class from doctrine via a yml file is probably possible, but the documentation says something like "put the file in your configuration directory", which might be /metadata, or maybe /metadata/orm, but there will be no errors telling you where it's looking for it if it can't find it.
And if you look online for version 2 help, everything is labeled as 2.0.0-DEV, no indication of PR2 or PR6, whatever, so there's no way to tell if the tutorial is using a recent version. I should point out that I'm new to symfony and to doctrine and to ORM, I'm anxious to move away from SQL statements all over my code, and think that the symfony2/doctrine2 combination is going to rock. But even the twig view library is only a month into release, I integrated it with CI figuring that I could then at least port the twig files over when I move to sf2, but even there it suffers from a paucity of documentation and examples. (I'm using Smarty3 with CI now, so it won't be hard to move when the time comes, and maybe sooner if I can figure out the twig issue I got stuck on). If you're in the Washington, DC area, I'm looking for form a Symfony2 users group to ease the learning curve. When RC1 comes out and the API is stable, and symfony2bundles starts hosting projects that work with it, and tutorials are available, it's gonna be great, so build around expecting to move fairly soon.
