Is there a similar PHP framework to recess thats still active?
<p>I found <a href="http://www.recessframework.org" rel="nofollow">this</a> and was watching the videos before I saw that its basically dead.  </p>

<p>The forum is gone and the last blog entry is from 2010. I was impressed with the fact that for development I didnt have to run scripts or muck with a terminal to create the models, views, controllers, etc. From the looks of the videos you just click a few buttons, everything gets creates and you go edit the files as needed. And to release the app, you change one line, and copy the files up. It seems super simple. most other php frameworks I've seen all require a terminal to be opened up and scripts to be run to generate the objects. to top it off recess has a nice rest API built in with no extra work for the dev.</p>

<p>Maybe I'm wrong but looking at Zend you need to install the frame works, open a terminal issue commands, write out a bootstrap thing, edit config files, create symlinks, setup a virtual host and then I can see something. Recess was, get it from git, open localhost, make application.</p>

<p>CakePHP is worse... you have to compile/bake/whatever your project into the resulting php application before you can see anything even after you go through all the hoops to create something in the first place.</p>

<p>Are there any developer friendly, easy to use, don't need to install anything, PHP frameworks like recess that are still actively developed?</p>
