Agree you don&#x27;t need a 3rd party framework on top of it, but Laravel has been a joy to use (though to be fair, I&#x27;m a big rails and phoenix fan, so I&#x27;ve been infected by prior art).

Another great PHP feature is that PHP is the framework, you don&#x27;t really need any heavy 3rd party frameworks on top of it. Getting familiar with a couple of libraries to cover what&#x27;s missing is usually enough for everything web development.

One of the best features of PHP is that you don&#x27;t have to learn and unlearn new tech stacks every few years.
