Oh no! You seem to be saying Symfony is better, so off I go to
http://www.symfony-project.com/ and start sniffing at it... just what I
need, another crisis of faith. To continue learning to bake, or try to
become a composer instead?

Seriously, they both look like they have their strengths and weaknesses.
Cake seems a little rough-edged and the documentation is uneven, but it
doesn't make you write a lot of YAML.
