Features That are missing right now

In all of the apps I've written once in CodeIgniter, I've never used middleware or an ORM, though most have had an auth of one sort or another.

Instead:

- middleware was replaced with an AuthController that would ensure the user was logged in and had permissions
- Query builder and well named methods in the model were enough.

That's not to say those features aren't nice when you have them, but since CI hasn't had them - people still get by. And in some ways, it's all a bit more explicit and simple to follow along.
