My friend thinks that Drupal is a much better framework than Zend, I however, think it's an unfair comparison. What are your thoughts?
They are two different products altogether. Drupal is not a framework, it is a Content Management System. This allows for distributed publishing, workflow and much more. It can be extended through plugins to provide additional functionality.
Zend Framework is a web application framework. It gives a common set of tools, services and code that can be used to build a site. It does not give you a site unless you put these items to some use first.
Think of it this way:
If you wanted to build a Content Management System like Drupal from scratch, you would use a Web Application Framework like Zend Framework to shortcut a lot of the standard elements you would need such as session management, email, database abstraction layer etc.

I have heard that Play Framework 2 will go to use spray instead of netty. Spray itself believes that
"The recent trend of moving web application logic more and more away
from the server and into the (JS-based) browser client as well as the
increasing availability of good SBT-plugins for things spray itself
does not provide (like view-templating or LESS- and
CoffeeScript-Support) "
Does it mean that playframework will be using javascript MV* by default instead of scala template?
The philosophic point of scala - to provide a scalable (unique) language for big range of use-cases - like web-services, logic, web. But WEB itself goes very close with Javascript and HTML and frameworks around it.
People tend to save processors time (money) on its cloud boxes, and would probably choose to use client-side computation vs server side, when it's possible.
That's the background of this question - where the Play Framework goes about it?
Should it use scala that would compile to javascript (for example)?

I am about to implement access control in my ZF2 project. I am checking both RBAC and ACL.
Which one would be best suited over the other? and why?
And which one would be supported well by Zend in the future?
I googled it, but couldn't get answers.
If you use ZF2 ACL probably you have to do a few other things like put in place firewalls, load ACL configuration and setup rules etc.
I was quite happy with ZF1 ACL but a bit pain was to setup and keep up-to-date resources (in our case model/controller/action).
In ZF2 you should use routes - routeMatch or Controller match. I found quite useful ZfcRbac which is quite similar to RBAC but it does extra few bits.
It might be easier to start there.

If I want to use a traditional approval type workflow in a regular asp.net system, for example
an order that needs an approval before order is placed. Rather than having the traditional
enum for OrderStatus, can I benefit from using microsoft WF4 (Workflow version 4) for this
or will I just generate more complexity and more code for no added benefit?
Any time you have a long running operation like this WF4 is a good possibility. The fact that the graphical designer allows you to show the actual running process, not a Visio copy of it, is also a huge benefit.
There is however a learning curve to WF4 and there are times you have to do things the WF4 way instead of the C#/VB way you did before. That said there is certainly a benefit, thinks like an approval request not being handled in, lets say, 14 days is very easy to do in WF4.

One of my customers want to have a simple CMS/blogging platform.
I have experience with Sharepoint variations and that method is very good for him anyway he could not afford the cost of a Sharepoint for Internet license.
Which of the platform currently available have easy to use features for adding multilanguage content and handle its translations workflows?
If you want a good cms php & mysql with blog you can use doorGets CMS, it's very easy to install and use, http://sourceforge.net/projects/doorgets-cms/files/latest/download?source=files
Since you mentioned Sharepoint, I am assuming you are looking for a .NET solution.
If that is the case, take a look at Umbraco, an open source CMS.
Drupal has this built-in since version 6. The i18n module adds some advanced features as well.
Wordpress ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress ) also has good support for i18n, and its admin interface is less complicated than Drupal's. You would need to use a 3rd party application (say, poedit http://dorkage.net/blog/2009/02/15/internationalization-work-flow-with-poedit/ ) to work with the translations, though.

could anybody recommend free CMS that
is preferably part of SimpleScripts or could be installed let's say with BlueHost shared hosting environment
can handle multiple domains using one database/interface/CMS application. Every domain will have similar yet different content. I would like to have list of records in the CMS application that I place rules on based domain name. So one record would be displayed on domain1.com, record2 on domain1.com and domain3 etc etc.
would be plugin ready
easy to use,set up,
reliable, fast to serve user requests
big community
did I forget anything? :-)
Drupal with Domain Access module handles this task very well.
