Re: 3.0: a peek into CakePHP's future

For mine, being able to deal with objects in the view would greatly improve the readability of data (the whole $user['User']['email'] etc looks incredibly difficult to read to me, compared with $user->email which would be much nicer).

I've always felt dealing with arrays is a bit of a 'hack'. I understand the choice, but I think the idea to move towards a more object oriented approach is more than hype, and long overdue.

No, that is not "nice". The strength of the CakePHP design is in being very straightforward when it comes to working with the data. I have seen other frameworks and I think that object-oriented ways are not suitable for working with data. Well, of course, you can, but would you want to, given a choice? My answer was "no" and that is why I am using Cake. I am worried that the object-oriented hype will get the best of you and we will lose a perfectly sensible data processing framework to the object-oriented glory. For practical reasons, it would be great to leave the model layer principles as they are.
