is it true "All PHP Frameworks Suck"??

Well, procedural will always be faster, more efficient and consume less memory than objects. Try benchmarking an ORM against native SQL (or a simple query builder like CI uses) under a heavy load, which is why I will never use one unless it's a requirement. I'm more concerned about efficiency than ease of coding for the developer, but I don't work on small websites and always need to think in terms of large scale. There are usually about 1k visitors on the main site I work on at any given time and growing all of the time (it's a national real estate company). If I used an ORM, I probably would have had to use a beefier server to accommodate the overhead, which costs more and does absolutely nothing for the end user. Just so the code is easier/prettier to write, which is usually written only once? No thanks.
