For newcomers to a framework, lackluster documentation and support can turn grind any development to stand still. I picked CakePHP based on its popularity and features.

In my experience (I'm the manager of the ZF project), it is on par with Zend and Cake popularity-wise. That said, I would not recommend picking a framework on popularity alone. CI may not be quite as popular, but it has plenty of momentum and is particularly good at some things. There are many other PHP frameworks that I wouldn't say are as popular as these 4 that are also good choices for some developers/projects. Hope CakePHP treats you well! ,Wil You should really mention Symfony as another popular PHP project, too.
