I'm currently using CodeIgniter for most of my projects. It's been pretty good so far, mainly because it's pretty lightweight. Can anyone recommend other frameworks that work well for them?

None. The native language is good enough for me.

Cake is good, Zend just has such a steep learning curve I ended up giving up! LOL

For most small projects I don't use frameworks, but for big/important/official projects I use Laravel. It's not as popular as Cakephp or Zend, but I love it.

Zend and Yii , 2 of my favorites. Zend for large projects, Yii for quick throw away test projects.

I've been using codeigniter for a while and like it a lot but I'd stay away from using framework all the time. The ease of syntax will soon make me forget the native. I don't think it's a good outcome

For all frameworks i recommend to use free PHP IDE Codelobster PHP Edition with special plug-ins for installation, auto complete, context help and etc.
