Why is Code Igniter not recommended? - blackout123 - 08-29-2019

I have been checking out Code Igniter recently and it seems incredibly easy to get an idea going very quickly with little work.
I have primarily been learning Symfony and haven't looked at Code Igniter mainly because there seemed to be a mass consensus that something like Laravel/Symfony etc would be better but I decided to checkout it again and was pleased with the experience. Its simplicity is a real plus point for me.
What are the reasons that Code Igniter might not be recommended?

People go on about CI not being modern PHP in design, personally, I think it is all hogwash. Do I want my code all up-to-date modern PHP OOP? Nope. FYI ignitedcms-pro is CI3 baked.

If you are so inclined the guys working on CI4 are doing a really good job. But for me CI3 is good enough. Though as of late, I've been deploying more of my stuff inside nodejs.

Specifically, Adonisjs.
