To HMVC or MVC, that is the question!

Easy, simple projects don't exist. They turned to be FB pages now. :-)

Even if you start something simple, your client will come back with more ideas, because he/she is under competition too. It is crucially important how projects start, they have to be open for growing.

HMVC is one of the approaches to help about complexity. Much is written on this, you may find the details alone.

Modular structure helps about complexity too, however, people expect modules to be totally portable between projects. I use modules, they give convenience, but I don't care about portability too much.

My answer is "HMVC, but there are practical obstacles. "...

The most popular third party solution (a subjective impression) for CodeIgniter is by wiredesignz. It actually provides two features - HMVC and modularity, I like that. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no support for CodeIgniter 3. Ok, you may make efforts for adapting this third party solution (I did), you arrange your code, and suddenly in the future CodeIgniter comes with its own solution...

HMVC should not be a third party solution.

..."Hope and wait...". :-)
