good for you. I'm looking at Yii too and it's interesting and i wanna give it a go. I don't think i have the time to switch over with my current project, but it seems fast and well put togther. A true php5 application framework rather than just a collection of libraries.

To its credit though CI has been stagnant yet has remained one of the top used frameworks for over two years. And still holds respectable benchmarks even compared to Yii. For many reasons already mentioned its strength lays in its ease of use, docs and adaptability for a wider range of programmers - this is almost unanimously agreed on. New frameworks will have to match this if they want to sway many CI users. It's popularity alone makes it attractive, as well as a target for more serious programmers. In any case i'm sure its here to stay and will remain in use for a while.

It would be nice to see it optimized and upgraded with the release of EE2, i think a lot of people are hoping for this before deciding whether or not to keep using it. Yii is exciting and new but still has some barriers to cross over. Also i'm surprised that there's not more interest in Kohana as it seems like a good fit for people wishing for many more integrated upgrades using the priciples of CI.
