Hello JC,
if Symfony works for you and you are >90% happy, thats cool, no need to switch to Akelos or any other framework.
But I can give you my personal reason why I am using Akelos instead of Symfony:
I tried symfony and it was very hard to learn, a lot of configuration to do and it takes very long to see actually results. Then Symfony uses things like Propel. I used Propel on a project, and database modeling, db changes are a pain with propel. Its such a huge amount of work. Plus have a look at the roadmap to symfony 2.0. I personally do not like where its heading ... more and more configuration.
With Akelos there is little configuration. You have to learn the conventions, the magic words and it works. The ActiveRecord allows you to create your models, the db schema with very little overhead.
For me its a bit like Windows vs. Mac. A lot of people use windows, but there is quite a number of people who are amazed by the simplicity of Mac and that it just works. The community of Mac is smaller but is it always the size that matters or sometimes the quality as well?
Windows being Symfony .. ;)
Cheers

Hello arnoschn, Thanks for reply.I'm satisfy with symfony.Actually i'm comparing both of them in terms or programming & output.Example i made one Blog application in Symfony & that same application i made in Akelos too. So which take lesser time & give quicker output.I'm looking for framework which reduce the coding style & give better & quicker output.Can you suggest tutorial for Akelos with Project or Examples.
