Say No to Composer!

Greetings,

ivantcholakov, thanks for the link to shift8creative! Mr. Maiaroto hits on most of my issues with Laravel. I am glad he and some others are brave enough to speak out about it, because most people who criticize Laravel are slammed for it (everyone in the PHP community seems to have stopped analyzing that framework honestly). I don't necessarily think that Laravel's mess is only because of Composer. But I do believe Composer is a big part of the problem.

kenjis, The "magic" I was referring to is the methods that are "installed" and proliferate "assumptions" throughout the framework. This is supposed to "make it easier for you" but in fact just makes it harder to trace where and why something happened.

As I said before, I fully admit I might be wrong about all this, and maybe I will be convinced otherwise soon!

Thanks,
Matthew
