HAH! Yeah, I probably wouldn't have used Cake for just a simple form to gather user info. Truely though, I feel your pain, I've used cake for 3 projects and there are quite a few bugs that I've ran into and quite a few changes I've had to make to the Cake libraries to get it to work with non standard databases. It really helps to be able to understand Object Oriented Programming and PHP and not be afraid to jump into the library code. I would say that there is not much rapid in the first project, especially if the scope of the project is small like yours seems. But, once you understand how the framework works and know more about how to use it, it gets much quicker. Cake really becomes more useful when you use it for larger projects with more complex table relationships and when you use a lot of it's built in functions, like it's ajax helper, user authentication and data sanitation functions. When you don't have to write that sort of functionality yourself, you really start to appreciate it more.
