Symfony 4 looks and feels like a slightly odd java Spring setup. Annotations are ugly as hell in PHP but thats a result of not having annotations supported in the language itself (you need an annotations preprocessor and they're all in comment blocks). There is an rfc for annotations in php as a language feature, so maybe someday. When that happens, Symfony may as well be Spring for PHP.
