I work with CodeIgniter a lot, in fact I am coding a web app right now in
CI. I have not found it to be limiting, given the capability to extend or
replace any CI function. I personally love CI and would say that my code is
fairly self documenting. I'd like to hear more about what Craig has to say
about PHP vs. RoR. I have not made the switch yet, because there have been
no business drivers to change, but if Craig wouldn't mind explaining more, I
am very interested...
