I agree, I miss Qiang's visionary leadership on the project also. Given his history of building frameworks I'd say there's a good chance of him doing another. It may not be PHP next time, though. I wonder if Yii2 adoption moving more towards Eastern Europe and China is more a macro trend of PHP in general. I feel like US firms are typically choosing other languages when starting new projects based off postings and job boards I've seen recently. Maybe my view is tainted from reading too much HN though, PHP doesn't get much love here...
