Framewoprks Are Dead

[Jeffro]

Interesting article explaining how the traditional frameworks like Zend or CakePHP may be dead in favor of the open source CMS solutions that exist.

What do you think?

I share an office with a bunch of people with the opposite view.

I don't understand why they mess around building stuff via PHP frameworks or Rails when most of the time what they are building is not much more than a custom CMS anyway.

Frameworks are dead for some types of projects. But if you venture out of the standrad website they fill a role.
Problem is that the frameworks and CMSes don't really get along. My AoiSora project tries to combine both.

I've used the Zend framework before. It's handy. Not everything fits into the CMS category.
