CodeIgniter is indeed not the best choice - Laravel or Symfony would of been a better choice. However, some people can build faster with CodeIgniter - it has a lower learning curve & some people can just work faster with it.

I am actually currently hacking up a proof of concept in CodeIgniter - will definitely replace it however with a different framework in the near future. For a project like this however, open sourced and aimed for people to use for production, a different framework choice would of indeed been nicer.
