From what I can tell, there are 3 active forks of the UserCake project. UserFrosting is its own beast. It's been around for a few years now...It's really good software...but it's designed to build your whole product on their system.
UserApple Pie is more advanced than UserSpice. The upcoming version is built on a smaller MVC platform. I would say it kind of bridges the gap between UserCake/UserSpice and a full-fledged CMS. DaVaR is on these forums a lot, so he might disagree with that description.
Then, I'm kind of keeping the 3 versions of UserSpice available for 3 different types of users. 2.x for UserCake users who want to upgrade kicking and screaming, 3.x which is purely procedural, and 4.x which is OOP/PDO, but offers some fallback options.
All of this stuff is a bit fluid. I just can't wait to see what people do with this stuff and to see where all these projects go.
