PHP Development Frameworks

As mentioned in a couple of previous posts (here and here), I have been looking into symfony as a PHP Framework solution and it's certainly one of the most comprehensive on the market. The following article at PHPit compares ten well-known PHP development frameworks including Zend, cakePHP and symfony.

Although the article is most probably outdated where facts are concerned (with comments dating back to 2006), most of the criteria on which the comparison is built are still very much up-to-date. They cover inbuilt support for: PHP5, Model-View-Controller (MVC), Object Relational Mapping (ORM), Caching, Validation and filtering, Ajax, Authentication, and more.

Still, I feel a development framework shouldn't simply boil down to supporting X or having inbuilt Y, and should in a sense embrace a wider philosophy as a whole.

Thoughts?
