Many of the OP's requirements are for existing tools. Blog, shopping cart and
the like. Developing those from scratch is rather like gathering the coal,
clay and iron ore to make your own oven to smelt your own iron ore to make your
own axe to cut down your own tree to make your own log cabin. You *can*, and
you get a lot of satisfaction from it, but it's a lot easier to spend less time
working for someone else, then rent a house. Sure, it might not be quite what
you'd build yourself... but you get most of what you want a *lot* quicker.
So, to the OP, I'd say: compare the big systems that you mention. Take a tour
of each. Install a few. You might spend a couple of weeks, maybe a couple of
months doing this. Then pick one and go for it. You'll have your system
running - and customers using it - while Lyallex is still building the data
access layer for the no-framework one.
