Code Igniter vs Laravel

All these people keep saying codeigniter is "proven and stable". I'm a codeigniter fan, but when sessions have been broken for years, it's kinda hard to back that claim. Laravel is fully unit tested and 100% stable. There are benefits to codeigniter over laravel and vice versa, but 'stability' is not one of them.

Narf has been putting in a lot of effort into updating the sessions library for 3.0. I'm looking forward to it.

Just remember, that Laravel is a really well thought out framework headed and supported by some of the more advanced php programmers out there. Whether we like it or not, the direction of the PHP language and Laravel are moving along hand in hand. At the rate it's been going for the last few years, Codeigniter will become completely obsolete if it doesn't play serious catch up.
