Its good. We use silex/twig for development. Sites/ form processing is pretty straight forward and easy and I like the "microframework" idea of not being too opinionated. Symfony and Zend have a large library with various functionality and you can pick and choose what you like. The php Composer lets you control dependencies easily. The main problem is that there are almost too many frameworks and the language has a bad reputation (legacy warts from old generations). I maintain java and perl websites too, and find the php ones easier to maintain.
