Kudos, at last some healthy interesting discussion in c.l.php:-)
Everyone start researching will end up in yet another framework (tm);-)

In my perspective, templates and MVC is making the project high
complex. Even, if you just want to echo some texts, you have to do this
and that..., IMHO. Another thing to consider the fact that PHP is
interpreted language; and I have seen many hard coded DB
abstractions--and finally end up with phpBB like simple abstraction
that doesn't affect much of performance. Also,

My requirement was different and got end up with own framework,
coding standards (phpdoc) and as I said since PHP is interpreted,
abstractions are minimized; and as of now many codes are been automated
in another layer (with own codegen) so that the effective (PHP) code is
simple and fast.

This is very harder. There are lots and lots of frameworks and
guidelines; all because of the dissatisfaction over other.
