- woranl 4y agoMany don’t survive. You mentioned Symfony, Zend used to be equally popular. Not many people use it now.
- jamesfinlayson 4y agoOh I agree - 15 years ago picking a web framework would have been much more difficult - for web frameworks now though I think that using the most popular choice should be quite safe.
- kgeist 4y agoSymfony is actually more like several different frameworks under the same name. Some of our projects are stuck with Symfony 1 and upgrading them to the latest version is aking to switching the frameworks because they have almost nothing in common.
