QPHP was built 3 years ago when there was no such amount of existing
frameworks. A couple of successful commercial projects has been
created on top of it. I did create it as architecture and help for the
implementation from other guys. Now from the point of project manager
I can tell you what is the most valuable thing of a framework - it
creates a frame and brings discipline to the development process. The
simpler it is, the better it is. Everything else are just pluggable
libraries.

Now from a private framework I am bringing it to a public one. Whole
new different story. I am collecting feedback from a couple of sources
and can tell that it is a hard thing to satisfy everyone. Everyone
suggests, well, you know, it is good, but it does not have ... what my/
our personal problems are!

I have been in the software industry for 10 years and can see how
people associate themselves with different ideas. The linux folks will
never share the values of the MS folks and vice versa. An ASP.NET/VB/
Delphi guy will be horrified to see how in most of the popular
frameworks people still parse raw request to see if a button has been
clicked and a linux guy will be horrified to hear something working on
Win/IIS platform. I did check the forum PHP software a month ago and
was scared how we still have "nice" mixture of SQL statements and HTML
tags in the most popular solutions.

So comparing the architecture style there are not too much solutions
on the market, beside Prado I even do not know the rest if at all.

And if you want second or third DB connection it is a simple thing,
just ask in the forum. Retrieving remote page is a very simple thing
also, there is an example.
