I don't know if it would be ethical for me to tell of the framework I'm using. What I can say is that it's quite new and collaborators of it are small unlike that of Yii, Zend, and Symfony. (I'm using PHP)
Unit testing, database ORM, model validation, etc. are hard to make use of on this framework I'm using, as these functionalities of it are lacking features
And then you state that you're going to rewrite, implying as if the rewrite is going to help.
I'll save you the rewrite; it's not going to help your lack of users.
At the very least you have a marketing/lack of awareness problem, at most you have a shitty idea problem. None of which have anything to do with the technology stack you're using.
