True, but I still haven't heard of anyone having to rewrite Symfony or Laravel project because of the frameworks themselves, usually it's poor design choices that could have happened in Django or RoR or Express as well (and that happens all the time, I've seen a lot of node projects that sucked because of lack of planning and we had to practically rewrite them from a scratch). No framework can save you from being careless (nor it should IMHO). In the end, unless you're building something really super popular it really doesn't matter which framework one chooses as long you learn how to properly use it and you don;t suck at programming... it's just vim vs. emacs type of problem, it's simply a personal preference, both are great, just use what you enjoy the most...
