I've seen a few screencasts of people using TextMate and that intrigues me a bit (it seems like everyone uses TextMate with Rails). Jimmy Zimmerman is a fellow BYU Information systems grad, and he has a <a href="http://jimmyzimmerman.com/blog/category/cakephp" rel="nofollow">few good posts about CakePHP and Rails</a> on his blog. I'll try to write some of my own thoughts down soon. I’ve just been using BBEdit so far with Rails, and it’s worked out okay.

Love the scaffolding and bake. I think I'll also try the Zend Framework too, just to have a point of comparison. I'd be interested to hear about your thoughts with RoR as compared to CakePHP. Will you write Ruby with a text editor or an IDE? I’m just starting to evaluate CakePHP and like it very much. Love the scaffolding and bake.

I guess the only problem is that I don't often code my own sites from scratch, and so I get frustrated with poor programming techniques on sites that I work on. I highly recommend CakePHP, especially because it seems to have a strong following. And don't worry, I'm not planning on ditching PHP altogether, it's just time to try something new. I even installed Gallery and Wordpress yesterday on our family website at juliaandalex.com (I had to drop Drupal because of spam problems that I didn't have time to work through).

D'oh! Whoops, that should’ve read ‘I have nothing against RoR…’

D’oh!

Other than Fusebox, which PHP frameworks have you used? Did you have a bad experience with them? I'm finally forcing myself to learn CakePHP, and so far I've been impressed. Not that I'm trying to woo you back. After all, there is something to be said for adding a new language to the resumé :) I have nothing about RoR and certainly don’t want to get into the typical this language vs. that language flame, but I’m curious…
