I'm the kind of guy that hates working with asp.net and prefer working in PHP...
I know I'm weird

Gasp!

Symfony > everything except cats

You are not alone.

I personally love PHP too. But with a framework like laravel. You should try it too @samfreeman05

Stop doing your own framework :o

I completely agree with you OP!!

@tigie11 Laravel is fun but dangerous in my opinion. Like Rails, it becomes difficult to work with it you want it to do more complex stuff than CRUD.

I switched to Laravel because it makes things easy — but it doesn't make things simple, and there is a difference between easy and simple.
