What I'd like is a list of featured/recommended ORM libraries, so new users are sure that they're getting the good stuff instead of having to read lots of forums posts and "ORM A vs. ORM B" discussions.
Same goes for some basic libraries like templates, authentication, etc. Maybe CI should have some kind of custom built download, where you could choose your ORM, your Auth lib, or none at all.
That would be really nice for new users, so they don't think that CI has less features just because they've read that it can't do ORM like other frameworks do.
