it would be nice with a quickie on how well these two play together, just out of curiosity (i’m good in neither 😛)

There really is no interaction and they don’t play together. You pick the tool that you need. This forum and the upcoming e-commerce module should be proof enough that just about anything that can be accomplished with a PHP/MySQL driven system can be built on EE. If you need the tools but a blank canvas then CodeIgniter is the way to go.
That said, you could probably cobble something together between the two with a bit of hacking but I am not sure why you would need to. I would probably pick one or the other.

Based on Rick’s comment in the CI forums I’d expect EE and CI to play well together when EE 2.0 gets released.
Many of you know that we’re working on EE 2.0. It’s a big release, so it’s still some time away. One of our goals for 2.0 is to ditch the EE versions of the libraries and incorporate the CI versions. We want to end up with one set of libraries that works for both apps. In fact, we want to create generally tighter symbiosis between EE and CI. It would also be great to use all the base classes (like the Router, Input, and Output class) in both EE and CI (it may not be possible, though. We’ll see…)
