Personally, I like to create my own php frameworks. I generally find it hard to follow others code and often framework projects are left without support, documentation or updates for years. It does indeed take a bit longer to program, but I don't have to rely on someone else for bugs and updates. I find myself making many frameworks custom for each site I build. Over the years i've found my own ways to save time. I've amassed a huge library of functions and classes that i've built from each site and often find myself using them on many sites. Every site i've built in the past few years follows the same directory structure, coding standard and principle. It took me years to develop but it hasn't needed any changes in a few years.
