Agree, it sounds like most of their issues were solved in 1.2. Huge nested arrays definitely sounds like they aren't controlling the recursion level properly, which is quite simple in 1.2 as you mentioned. Caching is also quite painless in 1.2. Its too bad for such a high profile project to bail on Cake without giving the new version a try. It really is an excellent framework for many projects.
