Framework with a lot of potential, but needs work

I like how easy it is to get started with, very intuitive. The documentation is excellent. It's not as user friendly as some other frameworks out there. For example, you can't just add a new file to your project without editing the code first. This makes it difficult to work on a team where everyone has their own copy of the source. But if you are working alone or in a small team this shouldn't be an issue. It's also hard to find tutorials for beginners. Most tutorials assume you know what…

Pros
  • Intuitive
  • Great Documentation
  • Extensive community support (IRC)
Cons
  • Harder than others when starting up
  • Difficult debugging due do lackluster error reporting

Great framework for PHP projects and especially web development

The thing I like about kohanim, it's easy to use with very good documentation! It has many features out-of-the box such as ORM (Object Relational Mapper), form validation engine etc., which are hard or not possible in other frameworks when you need them; also there're great tools available at GitHub repository under dev section - these can be used without any additional effort from developer side after installing via composer/pipeline system into your project dependencies list if needed). Some…

Pros
  • Everything is possible with the basic setup even tho maybe sometimes you may need advanced knowledge about PHP
Cons
  • Not too sure actually about anything but when you get started maybe it's best to keep looking for tutorials and guides for everything and also to ask help from other users on forum as well

Easy and quick way of building web applications

The ease to use, it's very customizable so you can do almost anything with your application in just few minutes! It has great support (community) which makes things even more easier I would say. Nothing really good about this CMS but its price tag could be better. If you are looking into something easy to build sites or apps using php then definitely go ahead because they have some pretty cool features like caching system etc. We used kohanas cache feature when developing our website/app as we…

Pros
  • Great documentation available readme file included within every plugin folder contains detailed information how everything works :)Easy interface / UI + excellent admin panel = best web framework ever built by developers who want quick prototyping without unnecessary complications ;)

High performance php development platform

I like the way the framework is structured. It is easy to learn and use. It has a very strong community base. The documentation is well written and very helpful. If you are looking for a PHP framework to use in an enterprise environment, I would recommend this framework. I am solving the problems of my clients and this framework is helping them do that. It is helping me to solve my problems too. The fact that the framework is free, open source and has a very strong community makes it a great…

Pros
  • Great MVC approach where everything can be done using RESTful API's only instead having traditional page based coding models available by default as one might come across while working within.NET or Java environments etc
  • Stack Overflow Q&A site being just another example among many others! Love
Cons
  • There are troubles
