title: Big Headache: CodeIgniter or custom made framework, what's your thoughts?
body: <p>If you'd like to develop a WebApp which you know that is going to scale and become bigger and bigger over time, would you use CodeIgniter or your custom made framework?</p>
  
  <p>What's your arguments for using an open source framework and what's your arguments against it.</p>
  
  <p>Here are my thoughts:
  <strong>CodeIgniter Pros</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Great documentation -> Easier to work in a team.</li>
  <li>All the development time is invested in the business logic.</li>
  <li>Not reinventing the wheel</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>CodeIgniter Cons</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Not sure how scalable it is if I'll want to grow</li>
  <li>MIT License - not sure what it means, but if I'll want to sell my app on per license basis, I'm not sure I'll be able to do that.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Custom coded Framkework Pros</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Scalable. I can decide how it will grow.</li>
  <li>I own the code</li>
  <li>Flexcible design.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Custom coded Framework Cons</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Need to document it, so others will be able to collaborate.</li>
  <li>Need to invest time to maintain the framework</li>
  <li>Unexpected errors/bugs</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What's your take on that? My brain tells me to go with CodeIgniter, my heart tells me to build my own framework.</p>
