Zend framework - the way to go to?

pro and cons

[macdar]

What do you think about the newest project launched by Zend?

[framework.zend.com...]

I spent 10 min looking at it
and yet I am not sure of what this about!

Could somebody in a couple of sentences define
what it should be used for?

NB)
I had my coffee and am not drunk yet :)

basically, it's a phps answer to Ruby on Rails. It gives you well organized structure using MVC (Model - View - Controller) framework.. it keeps your code clean..

I'm not sure about it as far as performance.. I like php for its robustness and simplicity. Not sure if that's gonna make it heavier, on the other hand I'd like to stick with the new development techniques..

Thanks, I am with you on the "will it generate a heavier code"

I need to see samples and see it in action
