Laravel was pretty good, but in my opinion it moves in a wrong direction for some time now. Framework reached stable state some time ago (around 5.1 or something) but it still gets weekly updates each with some changes and new features that honestly barely usable and look like marketing trick to maintain hype, here are few later ones:
etc
Compare it to phoenix, relatively “new” framework that is only updated when updates are needed or ecto that explicitly reached stable state Ecto 3.0 is out and stable API
I just feel at ease with such “pragmatic” approach to changes, so if we ignore language and paradigm holy wars that would be a major plus for Elixir ecosystem.
