Re: Is CakePHP dead? (Or is it just this group?)

CakePHP is anything but dead.

Here's the keynote from CakeFest this year with some stats:

You can also listen to it here, on a podcast episode we recorded after the event:

Like Jose said, learning is good, but you can count on CakePHP staying strong for a very long time, with 3.0 being a significant and strong move in the right direction.

I would also suggest targeting more active support bases, like the IRC channel and Stack Overflow, as Jose also suggested.

I posted a few questions lately but I don't get any answers at all here. Only 1 reply (and that wasn't even an answer to my problem) to 5 questions or so.

Therefor I'm asking myself if the group of CakePHP developers is bleeding to death and if that's so, why?

Or is there a more intensively used group somewhere?

Are we waiting too long for the new CakePHP 3 version?

And, like I'm reading at several places, is there a much better and more advanced alternative (Laravel) which is even more advanced than our upcoming CakePHP 3 will be?

I'm a CakePHP enthusiast for many years now but I'm not an 'expert' programmer and when I started With CakePHP back then (1.3.x) there was a large community and questions were answered very quickly but that seems to have stopped for a while right now.

And I can also see that in this group a while ago we got like 10 updates a day while now we only have around 3 updates a day.

I don't want to change to an alternative framework at all but as I have read some comments on the upcoming CakePHP 3 and the fact that I like my code to be as much 'Cake' as possible it will require a (for me) rather steep learning curve and reading 'The Book' from scratch to take advantage of all new techniques.

With this in mind I'm doubting if it wouldn't be more appropriate to start learning an alternative (more advanced?) framework right away?

Thanks in advance for your comments
