Doh ;) I should have narrowed down the question a little bit..

That's a good idea..

Yep.
I'm working on some apps for different organizations. One is a Yahoo-like
directory system with lots of extra features, and some others include a
contract management system, etc.
A few things I'm looking for in an application framework include:
- a full ACL.
- database abstraction with support for multiple simultaneous connections
to different databases (MySQL and Informix).
- a template engine.
- something that's continually being updated.
- something that doesn't force me into using an ugly UI (eg most *Nuke
systems, though they're not strictly).
- other classes/functions that could be useful.
