Talk at ConFoo.ca Web Techno Conference (English - US)
All web application frameworks suck, in one way or another. Some are overly complex for the task at hand, and others don't offer enough flexibility when your application steps outside of the nice & comfy confines of the ubiquitous blog tutorial. As stated by the venerable Sean Coates, the "#1 reason to avoid frameworks: you'll spend all your time working around edge cases."
Lithium, a new PHP 5.3+ RAD framework started by several CakePHP core alumnus, is designed to help you get the job done, and get out of your way. Built from the ground up by seasoned framework developers for today's web, it attempts to learn from the past by creating a cohesive set of replaceable, uniform components with intuitive interfaces, without crippling or hiding the important details from the developer. It's a stack that doesn't reinvent, and makes the developer a priority.

Presented well from a "problem with frameworks" approach and how lithium handles some of those issues. Love that lithium is starting with 5.3 and not attempting any backwards compatibility. This should be a big benefit in the long run.
