disclaimer: I am not a great coder. I think CakePHP is one of the easiest frameworks to deploy (you literally just upload the files and modify the config file and you're up and running) and given that it's PHP there are tons of tutorials for how to "do things" with Cake. Also just about every web host in the world supports PHP out of the gate, so you won't have to install anything extra. Other than those things, I think it comes down to preference of programming language - if you like PHP you'll probably like Cake. If you like Ruby or Python, you probably won't.
