[quote author="sheab" date="1404339991"]Why I use Codeigniter:
Because it has small footprint, Good on shared hosting, It is not bloated like others.
1) Love the fact it is basic/small to get us started.. (Sometime we may need extra - Remember not always {in that case we will work around to get the addon} - its gives me goodnight sleep knowing, I do not have what I do not need)
2) Features: I understand i will get alot comments on this:
Why do i need latest features - while i have a working framework/site (I am happy as long as its keep working)
We need to understand: latest features and bleeding edges are not always great (old is Gold)
Finally, What i wish EllisLab need/could do for us:
1) keep CI as is(small, lightweight) But keep a constant update/fix
2) No need for updating php version (5.2 default), But make-sure its keep on working on future php updates (shared hosting updates their php versions - makesure Ci keeps on working)
3) Give us an release date for CI 3.0 (and release it asap - keep rolling updates)
Above all - Keep CI alive.... Thank you
Nerf for your hard work!
------ EllisLab <--- thank you for not showing you care about people who love this
---------- Those who are developer/self looking for bleeding edges or latest php version.. move on to other or roll your own (dont make/post comments - Respect other who trying to keep this going (why don't you help CI to move further... help develop?) WordPress still uses php 5.2.
---------------Sorry, if i pushed anyone button-------------[/quote]
Keeping things the same isn't going to change the PHP community's perception, which is that CI is dead.
