Time to move on?

Today I discovered that the Symfony framework does almost exactly (and more) what my own framework (FoRMAiD) aspires to be(come).
Now what? Start learning to use Symfony2 and cease further development of my own framework? Rewrite my own framework so that it builds on Symfony2 and add what is not available in it? Or stubornly ignore Symfony2 and continue as planned?

The first option, and maybe the second, seem appropriate, but still it is a bit disheartening to realise that all the time and effort that has gone into FoRMAiD might have been better spent.

But then again, I managed to create a working OOP based PHP framework, that is fully compliant with the PEAR coding standard. So I learned a lot and gained some valuable skills doing so. :)

Working towards a first bèta release

A few years ago, I created a small framework to help me develop web applications more easily, without having to reinvent the wheel every time, or even worse, duplicating already written code. At some point I decided to Open Source it, and created a project page on SourceForge, with the idea of creating a bèta release some day.
Many years have passed since, with changing activity on the framework, but recently I picked up the idea again to release it. The last few weeks I've been cleaning up the code and implementing some things I've learned and picked up over the years, like OOP design patterns.

There is still some work before it's ready to release, but I'm getting there, continuously improving it, step by step : Formaid : preparing for a first release
