Q: 

Why would anyone use Kohana over Codeigniter

Possible Duplicate:
Kohana or CodeIgniter?

I have been using PHP for about a year now without a framework and I am ready to dive into one. I have been reading different sites about good frameworks and there seems to be a consensus that these two frameworks are the best ones. After doing some more reading and even on this site lots of people claim that Kohana is the way to go. I am totally ok with learning Kohana over codeigniter. My question is that why would someone choose Kohana over Codeigniter when it seems to have less documentation and no books....and very minimal tutorials about it.

A: 

As an aside, if you are looking for a PHP framework with good documentation and lots of books on it, take a look at Zend Framework.

zend "Framework" isn't really a framework. its a set of tools to build your own framework.

Not true- I have not seen any indication that the point of Zend Framework is for framework building. Yes, it's loosely coupled, but the components can work together and frequently do (i.e. Auth with ACL). They also follow the MVC pattern (if desired). Thus: framework.
