i agree with you here but i would add that there are tradeoffs in any
design. for example, the great strength of code igniter is its simplicity;
that is also its great weakness. its so simple; i and any newb could start
cranking out pages in no time. but... alas, as i started to use ci for a
project i uncovered many limitations. i consider it something only suitable
for smaller applications after using it for just one project. as such, i
suspect there are more complicated frameworks, whereby pages take more time
to create initially, but have a smaller number of limitations.
