CakePHP is not an improvement, and the fact you'd bring it up sort of shows you don't use the language much if at all...

Yeah should have said 'cake php or whatever' I don't know what the latest and greatest is, but I know cake was one of them not that long ago. But the PHP I've had to maintain recently has had most of the old problems of perl style CGI with the disadvantage of a lack of the extremely good toolchain that perl has.

And PHP's design flaws are at the core of the language without the extendability that perl has.
