Thank you...
Do you encourage users to go with Laravel framework? what are the differences?
Why would I do that? I'm helping to create a new version of CodeIgniter. If I thought Laravel was the best solution I'd continue using it for my projects. And I have used it and it's got some nice stuff. However, I think it tries to hard and enforces too much on the user in many ways. CI3 is still a great framework to use. CI4 will be the same. The goal is to be modern, but to be light, fast, full-featured like it currently is, and not too opinionated. One of the things that I have started to take fairly seriously in my own work lately, is the view that my application should be structured in such a way that the framework is something the application uses, not something that the application is built on. It's kind of a strange practice after all of these years, but my hope is that CI4 will make all of that even easier by making it easy to load your own classes and code "clean" if you want to, or to continue basing the application on the framework. I'll stop that ramble for now...

I understand that at some point you have no other choice but to do some code refactoring. BUT, promise you won't go the Joomla way (let's rewrite and break everything every 18 months just for fun) 
Rebuilding like everyone is doing nowadays every release with huge BC breaks is definitely NOT something that any of us want to do. The plan is one large change now that sets everything up for stable releases for years. At least, that's the hope.
