I build complex apps. I have been using PHP since 2008. Prior to taking up Laravel and Vue, it was becoming monotonous to build out websites. However now with Vue taking up the bulk of work and relegating Laravel to effectively an API for: - authentication and roles. - database layer for retrieval and submission - server side validation - gateway to the message queue Fact is, there's so little to use PHP for. I have contemplated moving to GoLang (and may do so in the future). But there is a reason why I stay with Laravel. It's just far easier and far quicker for me to code in PHP than using Javascript (node), GoLang and Python. Couple that with using composer which is a decent package manager. I can iterate very very quickly and have reliable robust code. Of course, you can argue that the same can be achieved with Rails, GoLang, Python, Javascript, etc, etc. That's great, stick with what works for YOU. I'm simply not going to put any effort in learning Rails or getting better at another language I know. I'd rather put in more effort to building out more features and grinding out what matters and that's making sure code turns into $$$. Which is something I think we can all agree with. Use the best tool that you can work with that will do the job well.
