CakePHP or CodeIgniter

I am try­ing to choose a frame­work for a per­sonal project that I am work­ing on. After ask­ing a few peo­ple and look­ing around the Internet, I decided to use CakePHP. Pretty much every­body agreed on that CodeIgniter is slim­mer and faster than CakePHP. So, what made me choose CakePHP over CodeIgniter?

Since most of the work I plan for this project will be in flash, I want to find a frame­work that com­mu­ni­cates with amf­php. If you don’t know what amf­php is, check it out here. Cake has a plu­gin that is sup­posed to take care of that. I have not tried it yet, though.

I also started learn­ing Cake first because I found the tuto­ri­als a bit eas­ier to fol­low . So far I really like the bak­ing con­cept. It took me about 2 hours to write a sim­ple blog con­tent man­age­ment sys­tem and that includes all the time I spent read­ing the tutorials.
