The Bakery Everything CakePHP

This is great news! My company has been building a massive series of applications under a single sign-on for a large private sector client and have been using 1.2 since the first beta. None of the team had used CakePHP before, and it was a risk going with a framework none of us had experience with.

However, it couldn't have turned out better. Without CakePHP there's no way we could have met our timeline or budget. Our app touches just about every corner of the framework from Localization, Cache, Security, Auth, and ACL to ingesting and providing web services, to custom Behaviors, Plugins, Components, Helpers in addition to all the core ones.

I can't imagine why any developer looking to build a PHP application of any size wouldn't use CakePHP.

Probably the most useful and practical behaviours for CakePHP to date! Having been dealing with large, complex data models in my application, this saved me hours of writing long-winded binding and unbinding code. I'd say this belongs in the core quite frankly.
