CodeIgniter vs other frameworks

An important thing for me is a level of stability in the core code.

For example, I've tried many PHP frameworks and a there are a good portion of them that are constantly changing and it becomes difficult to find articles, examples or existing code that actually works with the current release. Many may be feature rich but it becomes very difficult knowing how to code for the existing framework when there is no current documentation or workable code.

CI may not release often but it is very nice to know where you stand with everything and not spend hours troubleshooting something that you shouldn't even be wasting your time on.
