[split] CodeIgniter not popular in Russia because...

In Russia Codeigniter no longer popular. This is due to the fact that codeigniter stuck in development.
Russia more popular Yii. Gaining popularity Laravel. Symfony and Zend used in large commercial projects.
Russian communities Codeigniter stopped working. Blogs all write that "Codeigniter died", and it should not be used. But all this is subjective views.

Pros codeigniter:

- Very simple
- Easy to size
- No server load
- Only the most basic functions. Nothing extra
- Codeigniter documentation has always been ideal.
- ....... and so on

Huge minus codeigniter:

- No system of authorization and registration default
- No HMVC. It would be useful if in addition to conventional controllers, models, display, you can make full modules. Who wants to use mvc, others will use hmvc. To a choice

--application
    --- controllers
    --- views
    --- models
    --- modules
        ----news
            ----- controllers
            ----- views
            ----- models
        ---- blog
           ----- controllers
           ----- views
           ----- models

- No normal test
- Weak routing
- No namespace.
- ..... and so on

All this is very influenced the transition from codeigniter to other frameworks. Of course, many problems can be solved libraries: authorization and modules, but seeing that they are not in codeigniter, people go to other frameworks.
Codeigniter fourth version must be in php 7. Codeigniter 4 is able to change the situation.
