New PHP Framework

I'll try to be constructive.
Q: Why don't you just build on CI?
A: Because it is not great for me in core. Because of PHP4 support, CI does not have Autoloading, Magic Methods and all those great PHP5 features. To implement support of UTF8, you need to replace all the functions to their mb_* equivalent if you are not able to just turn mbstring.func_overload on. CI's database library allows writing only SQL drivers. You can't write MongoDB or CouchDB native driver. As library - yes, as driver - no. What's the benefit of creating native driver instead of library? Easy switching. For example, my site is now on MySQL, and I want to switch to MongoDB. If I don't have MongoDB native driver to database class, I need to replace all my functions or method calls to that new library. I think you understand me.

Q: Have you ever heard "..."?
A: Yes, I heard about this 1 million times. But if everybody followed this, we didn't have all these great frameworks as Codeigniter, CakePHP, Yii, Kohana and others. Why only frameworks? We could not have current "developed world".

As I said to Phil, I'll release 0.1 version and see if people will like it. Or at least 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. If they will not like it, I will stick to Fuel, Kohana or CI2.
