  y, going from Laravel 4.2 to 5.0 can take some work but the upgrades since then have been quick and painless. I came from Rails to Laravel. It has a similar feel and in some ways is more fun to work with. Part of that is the great community and lots of make your life easier features. Especially Laravel Forge and Envoyer. Forge makes spinning up servers easy and secure and deployments a breeze. Envoyer adds zero down time deployments. These are both paid SaaS but they fund the development of the framework and provide way more value than the monthly cost. Laracasts is also great for getting up to speed with Laravel.
