I think it's a great framework.  I've used it before and quite like it.
 For me it's a simple matter that I don't have time to do any contract
work right now. That and I'm just not web developer.

It's not a bad web posting.  It's just that it's a contract posting.
Which means lots of things have to be considered when thinking about
taking it.

This is true.  That doesn't always mean PHP is the right tool. Then
again, availability of cheap developers is a plus.
