Re: Is Cake Dead Or Just Catching Up?

By the way, I’ve noticed the same thing about the Google forum. I used to spend perhaps an hour a day answering questions where I could. But then the trend became that quite a lot of the questions were either so basic that anyone reading even the first few pages of the Cookbook wouldn’t ask, or “Someone help me build a Facebook copy - and hurry! Its urgent!”. I found it more and more difficult to contribute any value, so drifted away. I still read every question but rarely feel the urge to respond. But I still don’t use that as a measure of the quality of the tool.

This question is a bit like “What’s your favourite colour; triangle or banana?” It’s largely a matter of interpretation, habit and opinion. Or “Who’s the best looking actress?”.

I don’t measure Cake’s qualities on how popular it is or how many support questions are raised. I measure it on its ability to do a job for me and my clients. It’s still my go-to-framework and I’m looking forward to v3. Perhaps others are better or faster, but that would take time and effort on my part to go and discover.

I also only consider the performance of the sites I build, not the tool itself. Cake is just a tool. In the wrong hands it could be a dog, just like any other toolset. In the right hands it could be the best, just like any other toolset.

I remember asking the same question not long after I adopted it (v1.1 perhaps?) when some core members left the team. It didn’t die then and it isn’t going to die now.

It’s all good.

CakePHP is far from dead. Have been hearing about since a few years now ;-) Not a flame bait but anyone here remembers Lithium? 

The dev team is busy putting finishing touches to version 3.0 which promises to be a huge leap. I will confess that I did wander over to Laravel land but I am back. There are several things which are pretty cool in Laravel but a lot of things just require too much work. I am seeing a lot of what I loved in Laravel already available in V3.0 dev preview 

Also the biggest for me - there are very few Laravel jobs out there at the moment and things do not seem to have changed from November to now.

Looking at these stats is Cake dead?

 

http://www.sitepoint.com/best-php-frameworks-2014/

 

Can it keep up or catch up?

 

Over the years I would see 50 Cake messages a day, now it's lucky if you see 2 topics with 1 response in the daily abridged update.

Very few questions hit the inbox, less and less ever day…..

 

Don’t get me wrong I love Cake but is heading out to the pasture to call it a day?

Seems no longer a popular framework as others pop up.

 

Others are much faster, and have everything Cake has to offer and more.

 

Everyone has an opinion, let's see if anyone replies or too busy with other frameworks J
