Pro:
It's nice and modular so you can pick and choose what you use.
It has a lot of features/components.  I use a number of them (like Zend_Cache) 
in most of my projects.  Some of the abstractions for working with APIs are 
really nice too (Amazon, Flickr, etc).

Cons:
The MVC implementation feels a bit heavy compared to other frameworks - might 
be better with the ZF 2.0 PHP5.3 version since that allows for some shortcuts.

You should give Kohana a look.  Some of our developers have had good luck with 
that framework.  Lithium PHP looks pretty cool too but given that you found 
CakePHP limiting, not sure these frameworks will solve that.  Not really sure 
what you're looking for that Cake didn't provide or allow.
