perhaps unsurprisingly from me, a +1 for cakephp. I've used it for
every php project in the last 2+ years (yes, before even v1 went RC!)
and it's never let me down.

To me Zend feels more like a set of higher level classes with which
you'd approach building something like cakephp, cake has made me lazy,
I'm used to things (generally!) working and just 'knitting together'
of their own accord.

With regards to jQuery, the cake team is/has adopted this as their JS
library of choice, and I would therefore expect the pre-built ajax
stuff to be re-written in jquery before 1.2 gets to a final release.
