PHP got *huge* frameworks; but most of them are just clones of
..Net, RoR, etc--than to be innovative to attract users. The reason
might be because that most of the hard PHP programmers still prefer to
flexible with hackish style than the rigid framework approach as many
of them feels that most of web applications are simpler.

IMHO, RoR is killing many other frameworks and attracting more PHP
programmers lately. Those who are worried about the server support for
Ruby are just using Symfony, CakePHP, etc as an alternate to RoR.
