nowadays I write tests, as I use symfony and it support tests. I also
use Selenium tests for functional testing.

well, symfony has prototype and script.aculo.us built-in. some of the
helper functions may be clumsy a bit, but the ones I use most of the
time (link_to_remote, remote_function and the other ajax stuff) are
perfect for what they do

that sounds good, I wish I would have it in symfony ;)

we use Git here, and for me a 'git clone' is perfect

you can install plugins to symfony as well

if I need it I can make it with symfony. if I don't need it I don't want
it there to be built in...


and, besides this, for smaller projects no damn framework would be
needed ;)
in that case I'm sure php is better.
