I was quite a keen CakePHP user until it dawned on me how slow and clunky it seemed to be. Have since switched to Ramaze (http://www.ramaze.net http://www.ramaze.net) - a light, modular Ruby framework. Bearing in mind I knew zero Ruby at the time, I have never looked back. Definitely worth a look. (irc.ramaze.net/ramaze offers good support, too).
