Symfony have you used it?

Just wondering if any one has used Symfony http://www.symfony-project.com/ in the past I'm experimenting with it for a project, so far I have had mixed results. I really like the fact that templating is via XSLT though for many I suspect this will be a turn off.

Has anybody else used it what are your thoughts?

Choosing a framework looks like a very taught decision. There are so many out there, and as there is none used so much, you can't know or predict problems that you may have using them.

Personally I use my own framework, a collection of open source and inhouse made scripts. It is nothing like the public frameworks, but I use it because I know how it works, and I don't have to use the extra overhead a framework produces.

yeah, me too I try to invest my time into writing my own scripts, of course I use some other open source projects like fpdf
