The State of Web Development 2010 was released (http://www.webdirections.org/sotw10/).

CodeIgniter gets special mention in “Server-​​side Technologies” section (http://www.webdirections.org/sotw10/server/). Here’s the quote:

Last year, the PHP frame­work CodeIgniter from Ellis Labs was men­tioned by 1% of respon­dents. This year, although once again respon­dents had to include it in a list of “other” frame­works, was men­tioned by over 6% of respon­dents. This puts CodeIgniter only slightly behind Zend, and in fourth place of all libraries. It may be that mem­bers of the CodeIgniter community stacked the results, but a lit­tle dig­ging doesn’t imme­di­ately indi­cate that this was the case. CodeIgniter has cer­tainly gained increas­ing atten­tion, and EllisLabs have long had a fanat­i­cal com­mu­nity around ExpressionEngine, which it seems is trans­lat­ing to CodeIgniter as well.

I think if CodeIgniter would have been included in the list, it would have beaten Zend.
