>you can never really use most components exactly like in the Symfony standard distribution

I'm glad its not just me. The documentation gave me problems. I started wondering why I didn't just use symfony in the first place.

Hehe, I'm in fact switching my two ongoing side projects from Silex to Symfony.

It also helps me keeping current with the framework since it's currently all the rage in the (French) PHP job market.
