    Why are PHP's mocking libraries so weak?

    ### [phpunit-mock-objects](http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/test-doubles.html)

    Kludgy, disgusting syntax.

    ### [mockery](https://github.com/padraic/mockery)

    Seems to have the most momentum, but I don't like its DSL, which seems more complex than 95% of cases need. Bad docs: a 1,600-line README?

    ### [AspectMock](https://github.com/Codeception/AspectMock)

    Dead-simple syntax (four public methods to remember) and the ability to mock non-dependency-injected code. Heavy overhead in the AOP framework it relies on. But this is still the library I'm liking the best.

    ### [Phake](https://github.com/mlively/Phake)

    Nicer verification (like spies), but stubbing syntax is as bad as mockery. Bad docs.
