I think some balanced discussion about Kohana v. CodeIgniter would be helpful on HN.

I haven't followed the debate, but I do find it interesting that the Kohana article on Wikipedia is being evaluated for possible deletion because all (nearly all?) contributors to its K v. CI debate are "developers of K" according to the WP discussion page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion...

The comparison between the frameworks was more relevant at the initial fork, when Kohana was simply a PHP5 port of CI with a additional functionality. However, at this point in time, the code bases have diverged to the point where no more CI code currently exists in Kohana. Some of the underlying architectural concepts are still shared between CI and Kohana 2.x, but Kohana 3.x has diverged even further.
