Tutorial for creating news item doesn't work

Why nobody here goes with Symfony?

Laravel seems to top the list these days. I may go to symfony, but laravel seems to be top dog. I just want one that gives the most features, with least messing around. Wordpress will ultimately create restrictions, I have looked at the coding a while back and wordpress just looks like it would be too awkward when going for something more complex. I want php (and ofc php is very similar to c#).
