Top Benefits of Using Codeigniter Development

I've used CodeIgniter for quite some time, and I find specifically the following as benefits:

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
