Thanks for sharing your experience.
The migrations technique looks extremely promising (and familiar :-) ...

I just finished a small project with symfony at

There are a lot of cool things about the site, such as a drag and
drop editor for relationships between people, that are in an
administrative interface that you can't see.
Overall I like the symfony approach to things: I've got slightly
different opinions about how to configure multiple site instances,
but it's easy to reconcile my ideas with symfony's.
I don't care for Propel ORM much -- in particular, Propel doesn't
have good mechanisms for managing schema changes... Everything
works OK if you never change your schema, but adding a plug-in
after you've got data in your database may trash your database if
you follow the instructions. I do like the idea, however, of
putting my own methods on the ORM-generated classes. It can be a
nice way to organize code.
Doctrine ORM , however, looks like a dream. My next symfony
project will use Doctrine, even though that means fewer plugins and
builders will be available.
Symfony's documentation is better than other PHP frameworks, but
it's still in a place where I needed to look at the source code
often to understand how things ~really~ work. That's unfortunate,
because many of the people who need frameworks the most are people
who'd be intimidated by the work to make them work.
