1) the framework is extremely stable, mature, and lightweight, yet it is easily extendable.
2) MVC (model view controller) is a great, easy to understand coding pattern. Although I almost always utilize HMVC (love those modules). This means easier testing.
3) The Active Record pattern makes accessing data a breeze, and I can still use regular SQL if needed.
4) Config files make it easy to adjust settings across servers and deployments
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece of information with us!!
