I like symfony. Before Symfony I used Zend and tried to learn Ruby on Rails before.
see this:

cache capability, its comfort with Ajax functions, ORM layer
they are all great,
the worst part: it's installing it. Sand_Box for Windows or installing
it int Debian, they're all problematic.

Best MVC framework that I have encountered. but it is not there in PHP; it is a Perl thing.

Ruby / Rails is dead sexy.
I've heard good things about symfony as well though. I have a friend doing some heavy dev in it in a team environment and he's still impressed. That speaks volumes right there.

symfony is really well done. Even reading the source code is a pleasure. Provided you forget about the "tutorials" in the documentation and just read the online book it's easy to get into too.

I think my main problem with Symfony is that is is best used with their generator code so there is really just one way to implement it. I personally don't prefer that style and would rather have something like Zend Framework where it is up to you to define you bootstrap per project. There are frameworks that make choices for you like Symfony and frameworks that give you choices like Zend Framework. Neither is better -- just different. But you own taste will determine which you like better.
