I'm using MVC pattern for web development. I use codeIgniter framework. I found http://fuelphp.com/ and http://kohanaframework.org/ , they are using HMVC. It still not is clear of HMVC and why we should use HMVC instead of MVC ? I am confused after reading HMVC pattern and it's not too much different from MVC. Can you explain why we should use HMVC for web application development ?

The difference from a traditional MVC is that instead of displaying the comments in a fully separate page, they are displayed inline below the article the user is viewing. In this regard, HMVC strives to increase code modularity, aid reusability, and maintain a better separation of concerns.
MVC platform supports the development of SEO friendly web pages or web applications. Using this platform, it is very easy to develop SEO-friendly URLs to generate more visits from a specific application. This development architecture is commonly used in Test-Driven Development applications.
Why should I use HMVC? Key advantages to implementing the HMVC pattern in your development cycle: Modularization: Reduction of dependencies between the disparate parts of the application. Organization: Having a folder for each of the relevant triads makes for a lighter work load.
HMVC is a real effective design pattern and has been widely used, however among Laravel's community, this design pattern is considered somehow a “bad practice”. In his book From Apprentice to Artisan, Taylor Otwell – Laravel Framework Author- suggests: HMVC is usually an indicator of poor design.
one of the things that you will or had struggled with in MVC is that you can't call a controller from another controller (unless you use a custom library or helper to do that)
in HMVC (Hierarchical Model View Controller) you can do that , i would sum all the qualities in here:
you will never go back to MVC after trying HMVC here is a picture to be more clear
for CodeIgniter use "Modular Extensions - HMVC"
Modular Extensions makes the CodeIgniter PHP framework modular. Modules are groups of independent components, typically model, controller and view, arranged in an application modules sub-directory that can be dropped into other CodeIgniter applications.
Module Controllers can be used as normal Controllers or HMVC Controllers and they can be used as widgets to help you build view partials.
if you want to use codeigniter with HMVC pattern, you can use Modular Extensions - HMVC here
