Which PHP5 Framework is Your Favorite?

matt_j_99 asks: "With all the talk about Ruby on Rails, I've been thinking about PHP frameworks. Ruby on Rails looks pretty cool, but frankly, I don't want to learn a new language. It seems that with all the slashdot discussion about RoR, somebody always makes the valid point that PHP is not a framework. But with PHP5's, Object Oriented features, a standard framework might emerge. Prado, Carthag, BlueShoes, and PHITE all seem like interesting frameworks. What PHP frameworks have you used in your applications? What were the pros and cons of each? Which framework do you think will have the best chance of long-term viability and maintenance?"

PHP? Switch to Python and Django

[Boffy]

I've been exclusively PHP for a number of years now, but the lack of innovation in frameworks and the OO limitations in PHP have lead me to Python. Python has a great up-and-coming framework called Django which was covered on slashdot recently. I've switched over to this and can see my productivity shooting right up once I've got to grips with it

lame excuse

"I don't want to learn a new language"

how about learning a true language like Ruby rather than continue with a subpar Perl reject like PHP?
