I like it.

I'm slowly converting across my companies applications to it, but it's a 
long process (mainly due to clients getting in the way asking for pesky 
features rather than letting me spend a solid amount of time on it!).


But overall, it is a great resource and allows for a lot of flexibility 
but while making you think about good practice. In a corporate 
environment these kind of design principles and a solid unit test 
structure are important, and the ZF helps ensure that this is designed in.


There are other, more lightweight frameworks but there is a wealth of 
features in ZF and the community is very active and helpful.


Other than that, I'd say whatever floats your boat! Try out a few things 
and see what you like best!

Zend Framework and Zend Platform are 2 different animals
