Lumping CodeIgniter and Symphony together as parallel examples of bloated and get-in-your-way frameworks seems like a stretch.

CodeIgniter is modular, so you can just use the MVC capability it provides and leave the rest alone. Symphony seems to require a substantial amount of prep and up-front learning in order to use it. I couldn't see the set up time between the two frameworks being much further apart.

I'm curious what aspects of CodeIgniter the author found to be bloated and crippling.

When I started using CodIgniter the easiness of installing the framework really amazed me. You don't even need the mod_rewrite enabled!

Just extract the CodIgniter code into a webserver directory and create the controller code to show some output or load a view and you are done!
