[zendframework] is it too complicated?

I must say that I haven't used ZF2 yet so I am not an expert by any
standards.

The fact is that I have some ZF1 applications that are quite big and I
actually read somewhere "ZF2 is completely new system compared to ZF1, I
don't think you can make such kind of migration without decent amount of
recoding". Even if it seems to be more of a refactoring than recoding, the
fact that the new framework cant handle, even partly, php code written some
months ago is very frustrating.

I am so glad that I decided to not use a lot of view helpers and action
helpers.

For now the framework stays ZF1 for me.
