CakePHP has changed ALOT, and for the better to boot! As a 6 year php coder and a 2 year cakephp developper, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Yes, everyone thinks the docs aren't good. They're currently pretty decent actually. Also, the community is amazing and all of it (core code, docs and community) is just getting better.
It's a really good, VERY flexible framework and most important; incredibly portable, which I think is the reason why I love it.. I haven't had a hiccup with it since the latest versions have come out (1.2 RC3?). I've also done ALOT of client work using it, rarely on my on web host. It is the Madlib to rails' Timbaland.
That being said, cakephp 1.1 was REALLY bad. I can't stress that enough. This is probably why it gets so much bad press. There's still ALOT of information written on 1.1, alot of technical articles, howtos, etc.. and an upsetting amount of reviews and performance tests based on 1.1 or early beta 1.2 releases.
I capitalize ALOT. I'm REALLY sorry. I just really like cake...
