Life will go on. So will Cake.

If you've been using PHP long enough to develop a few sites/apps
*without* cakePHP, you should have come across the lovely list() [
http://php.net/list ] function which will take enumerated values from
an array and place them into variables for you. Even in traditional
development without cakePHP, you would never create your own list()
function since it already exists. This is perhaps a flaw of PHP because
of the lack of namespaces for the core functions, but it also adds to
PHP's ease of use.
Cake is not wrong for this, it's something you just shouldn't do in PHP
even without a framework. Most PHP developers would know this and would
refrain, but clearly you don't have the experience; which is fine, but
you went about your original message the wrong way.
Just because you don't understand both the language and the framework
doesn't mean the system is flawed. Obviously nothing is perfect, and
yes both Cake and PHP have their flaws, but by understanding your
environment you can walk around most of these problems. It's not a big
deal to write a specific route for yourself, and it's more of a deal to
require every other cakePHP developer to start putting something like
"action_" in front of every single one of their action methods. The
issue you have is not a design flaw with Cake because the majority of
developers are not affected, and the ones who are have a very simple
configuration available to resolve the problem.
I don't work on Cake, and I haven't even been using MVC for very long,
but as gwoo said, it's very easy to see you went about discussing this
the wrong way. The community has been good to me, and if you submit
your development insights in the appropriate place with the correct
demeanor, I'm sure your suggestions will be considered with open arms.
