I agree with Patrick and Eran about de-coupling being one of the framework's unique features. Much of the framework's functionality is available in other frameworks or sets of libraries, but as a unit I don't think ZF is rivalled by any other PHP frameworks. I've done an analysis of the degree of coupling in ZF -- if anyone's interested you can check it out at <a href="http://codecaine.co.za/posts/analysis-of-coupling-within-the-zend-framework" rel="nofollow">http://codecaine.co.za/posts/analysis-of-coupling-within-the-zend-framework</a>.

It's one of the main principles of Object Oriented software design, and Zend have definitely tried to implement it as much as possible with their Framework.

Too many of the other frameworks seem like straitjackets. I really like the philosophy of loose coupling that is used in the Zend Framework. Too many of the other frameworks seem like straitjackets.
