It’s 2023 and by some measures, 77% of all web sites are powered by PHP. I’m not sure it’s quite that high, though if you think about every WordPress site, maybe…
I’ve been coding a small-volume API and Laravel has been a breeze. Years ago I did some CakePHP sites and really once you do an MVC project, a lot of the concepts carry over. Laravel benefits from very nice documentation and a vast community. Also the code has been bug free so far for me. I did say “small volume” which I think PHP is appropriate for. Of course there are ways to scale it further, and one can always go horizontal (depending), but in this case I’m unlikely to seriously tax a 4GB VPS so fast development pays dividends.
Laravel has everything I need, but I’m mostly transforming SQL data and sending it to requesters – YMMV.
Indeed, what mileage are you putting on PHP frameworks these days? Vote and let us know! I included some older ones as I know each framework has its partisans.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

None, I write without any frameworks, pure PHP, almost 20 years.
Same.
The choice of a PHP framework depends on the specific project requirements, development preferences, and the availability of community support.
