Drupal 8 is based on Symfony -- things are really moving in the right direction.
Personally, I was a huge fan of Zend Framework + Doctrine, but these frameworks are all mature and great to use.... almost as good as Rails (lol, OK, OK, don't mention Ruby within earshot of PHP fans ;)
[edit] down voted for my opinion! Argh my tiny karma is depleted -- damn you ruby, damn you to hell!
Drupal is becoming more and more insane with each release (especially 6 -> 7). The database structure is really getting out of hand. It's becoming harder and harder to deal with the performance issues.
Yeah... I don't know what to think about performance. We tend to be careful with page design and cache everything so once the cache is built the site flies.
But developing a drupal site is painful. Clearing the cache every few minutes takes forever.
