Did you give any other frameworks a try?  What made you choose it?

That is really the main problem.  Nobody has time to go through each and 
every framework out there and give a truly valid comparison of them all. 
I imagine that most people who give an opinion on which framework is best 
have probably not tried very many others.  The same probably goes for 
opinions on anything.  If you asked me why I bought the car I have it is 
not because I went out and drove every other car out there.  I just 
happened to hear good things about it and upon trying it out found that I 
could live with it.

I have heard good things about many frameworks out there.  Most often is 
is Cake, Seagull, Symphony, CodeIgnitor and some others.

I am often led to this (old) chart:

Has anyone here played with Typo3?  More of a CMS than just a framework 
though.

I am still currently deciding upon one framework.
