What about hybrids like Silverstripe? Has anyone used it (or something similar) for large-ish projects? Although personally I use mostly CakePHP, I began playing with it lately and it seems to me that it has a lot of potential. Basic CMS functionality is provided out of the box, but I really like the way you can extend the core classes and integrate your own functionality into it, without losing the typical ease of use, even for non developer maintainers/users.

What differentiates Silverstripe from something like Django? It seems to me like Django offers 'Basic' CMS functionality, althought how you define that is up to you :)

I personally prefer frameworks that get out of my way over Django which forces a lot of idioms onto you. Like web.py, and if it's your taste add Jinja and SQLAlchemy and you've got a decent stack to quickly iterate.
