Yes, David, maybe Symfony is better (nudge nudge) and maybe cleaner 
(nudge), or easier to follow without docs (nudge nudge) or perhaps the 
docs are more complete. I can't *tell* you these things with mere words; 
you need to *experence* them (nudge nudge) in order to fully appreciate 
the symfony/cake comparisons (nudge nudge). Oh, and be sure to report 
back to the talk list, ok?   ;-)
