What Hacker News says
5 sourcesYii2[0] is simple, elegant and powerful. Unfortunately it does not adhere to:
> - no php code in templates
But it does abstract the template/view nicely.
On a personal note and this will most probably get me down votes. I would not recommend anyone to use PHP frameworks. But I understand real-life factors like current skill set, dev availability, etc.

In Ask HN: What PHP framework would you choose if you could start over?I agree there; somehow I got the feeling that mostly Chinese and Russian folks are using it, meaning that up-to-date resources/tutorials in English are limited.
One of the major things in v1.x that put me off from feeling too comfortable with it was the lack of coding standards - naming conventions, spacing etc. This might be personal, but to me that was one of the little annoying things that didn't really let me make the switch completely.
v2[1] addressed these things which may lead to a better adoption. It looks pretty promising, but it will need more time to become stable.
