(http://seagull.phpkitchen.com). It's based on PEAR, which is of course good and bad. I've been using it for a year now, and I'm fairly satisfied, at least I don't have to spend forever configuring action mappings, and the docs are good. Main problem is speed and tight coupling between models and controllers, but libraries are set-up very nicely. What are people’s thoughts on Seagull? (http://seagull.phpkitchen.com).

I haven't tried to install it - just scanned bits of the source. To be completely honest though, what's put me off is seeing phing around. Can't really say anything more useful than that right now. Don't really have the complete picture of how it works. Otherwise on the PHP front I'm holding for the Zend framework right now.

Have you seen symfony?

Have looked at symfony and it looks good – there effort that’s gone into things like the i18n support is a good sign to me and tells me much about the mindset of the developers involved.

I haven’t tried to install it – just scanned bits of the source. To be completely honest though, what’s put me off is seeing phing around.

Can’t really say anything more useful than that right now. Don’t really have the complete picture of how it works.

Otherwise on the PHP front I’m holding for the Zend framework right now.

This is not meant to be a tutorial or a brochure—just observations and impressions that have been springing to mind and even there, things that really stand out. There’s a good chance I’ve misunderstood things or am simply wrong but figure it’s useful to capture it all somewhere. Also not attempting to fish for answers—want to see how far I can get without help. [...] [...] Ongoing thoughts on Catalyst, following from here.

I have spent countless hours trying to design the "perfect" application a la MVC when I probably would have been done if I had chosen to use "spaghetti code." I'm all for a well-designed app but sometimes (most of the time?) it is not necessary. I know what you mean about getting things done.
