.NET MVC migration to Twitter Bootstrap + KnockoutJS +?
We have developed a suite of applications using .NET MVC and are planning to migrate to an open-source platform (due to cost, maintenance, talent, exit strategy, etc.).

We are planning to build web applications (instead of web sites) using Twitter Bootstrap and KnockoutJS (possibly EmberJS but that has a higher learning hurdle). We'd like the following, what platform would you recommend?

 - API Driven
 - Ability to integrate with API's easily: Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, etc.
 - Preferably to have ACL security included as part of framework
 - MVC framework
 - Be able to create tables as objects (similar to .NET MVC)
 - Wide industry adoption & support
 - Minimum learning curve (we are new to PHP in general)
 - Relatively easy to debug

We've looked into CakePHP, Zend Framework, NodeJS so far. Any suggestions among these or other suggestions?

Cheers,
Dean
