I hear these sorts of things regarding hosting all of the time. However, in my experience, if you are working on an app that is large enough to warrant using a framework like Symfony or Zend Framework, you are probably going to also be using your own server. People don't build large expensive applications and then deploy to GoDaddy or something :)
Agree completely. CodeIgniter used to use this as an argument for supporting PHP4 (!!?!?!?), but it seems so bankrupt. I (anecdotal, I know) don't know a single person writing an application (what these frameworks are designed for) who would deploy to a classic shared hosting environment over a VPS or app cloud service.
