I roll my own, partially from classes I wrote and partially from classes at phpclasses.org and partially from neat stuff I find on the web. Not sure you could call it framework though, just a loose collection of independent classes.

Just spent a couple days bringing that loose collection together along with CSS templates from http://www.freecsstemplates.org/ and now actually have my own (not quite finished) CMS. And it looks / works a hell of a lot better than anything I've done before (er, other than it not quite being finished ...) Making my classes work together specifically to make a generic CMS exposed a lot of bugs and poor design decisions in them that are now largely fixes (er, well, we'll see ...) Last few days have been like an epiphany for me.
