Seeing all the bashing of your anti OO comment, I must leave a note of appreciation. PHP is not Java. All framework developers should write that phrase 100 times, Bart Simpson style before designing their framework.
It's not acceptable having to import a monolithic framework to write a simple webapp. All webapps start simple...
It's not acceptable having MVC crammed down my throat, when MVC, which fits desktop development perfectly, feels shoehorned in webapp environments.
So many frameworks have great code in there only to be unusable because it's trapped in monolithic OO monsters. I'm looking at you Zend, or Cake, or even symphony...
That being said, nicer frameworks are appearing. Aura and Fuel both look great.
