I hate Zend with a passion. They make simple tasks crazy complicated for no reason other than, it's "Zend". CI isn't as bad, but the ORM is lacking, and I hate plugging multiple frameworks together, becomes inconsistent and leads to random bugs.

PHPUnit is pretty cool, never used phpdebug, built in functions work well enough for me. WideImage? Never heard of it. Most image processing libraries are crap, and PEAR has gone downhill.

Sad. This is why I use other languages if possible, consistency.
