- Going out of your way to tell us how awesome Laravel is - check
- While doing so, belittle CodeIgniter - check
- Talking down on a large part of the CI community - check

Hmmm ... say why do a lot of "CI3 devs" hate on Laravel again?

Older CI community members could in fact have a few more reasons to hate on Laravel, but it's this kind of attitude that invites the hate from all other non-Laravel developers. You need to stop shoving it down people's throats.

@Narf
My apologies if I came across that way. I'm a CI developer firstly and laravel when I'm told to. I was simply answering the question asked to me, and as Killishan says in the post above, there are several things in Laravel that are considered "nice".

Well, the only question directed to you was the following:

Yet, you answered that with a very short sentence and then opted to advertise Laravel's features and trying to come up with reasons why "a lot of codeigniter developers" supposedly hate on Laravel.

I consider myself unbiased when it comes to php frameworks, after all, they are just tools to create what you want to do, and for some cases one is better than the other.

And nobody has questioned this, yet you continue to reiterate and emphasise on Laravel's large feature set.

It's fair game to mention it once when comparing, but (as I already said) overzealous advertisement is what makes Laravel really annoying to outsiders.

I think it's pretty clear and concise that one of the main features of CI is having a small footprint and high performance, which is exactly what I stated in my first sentence, and Laravel is known for all of it's built in features, which is also what I stated in my post. If you meant belittling because I said it has less features, aren't I right?

Here:

This goes beyond (again, the uninvited) listing of Laravel's features and/or stating the larger count. It is strongly implying that CodeIgniter's features are inferior in terms of quality.

A highly biased and subjective statement, to say the least, and there are plenty more reasons why it's not a fair comparison.

(04-28-2016, 12:31 PM)albertleao Wrote: I also think it's a little pre-emptive to say I'm talking down to CI devs.

When you tell people that they hate on something, and you tell them that they do so because they're simply not up to that level, you are talking down to them.

So, assuming that it is about territories (which is silly), you choose to provoke that?

(04-28-2016, 12:31 PM)albertleao Wrote: CI is geared towards a different kind of developer, and you being main person who has to deal with devs trying to help you on Git, I think you would understand that more than anyone.

I do understand a lot more than that, and I know that you do mean well, but that is beyond the point.
We're just sick of reading about how great Laravel is - it's rise largely caused by aggressive marketing in the first place - and we don't need more of it here.
