3. PHALCON: THE GOOD
• Fast, small memory footprint
• Easy to learn
• Friendly, but tiny community
• Relatively fast release cycles
• Full stack

4. PHALCON: THE BAD
• Not necessarily the fastest option anymore
• Community hasn’t grown that much
• Relatively slow release cycles
• Phalcon 2.0 just a rewrite, design flaws still present
• Needs more contributors

5. PHALCON: THE UGLY
• Not every module is modular
• Phalcon ORM (sorry Andres!)
• Routing component

6. SO WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?
