Key differences between Zend Framework 2 and Symfony 2

I studied Symfony 2, as well as the new beta version of Zend Framework 2, and I see a lot in common. Both seem to be really focused on Separation of problems , and both look as if they have the ability to add fully packaged “modules” with the corresponding MVC components.

I am not familiar with both frameworks so that I can go anyway for my next project. Are there significant differences between the two structures that should help in deciding my decision to choose between them?

If you want to start a new project now, you should start using Symfony as there is already a stable version and there are already many packages available (http://symfony2bundles.org).

In any case, since they both follow the PSR-0, you can easily combine them. Both of them provide many good standalone libraries.

Quick answer: depends on the project. For me, SF is a choice because it is ideal for large projects for many years, as it provides a real project environment. Especially if you are not doing your stuff for the client.

If you just want to complete the task, grab the right zend libs and submit it. SF is when you take care of a child; -)
