Code Igniter vs Laravel

@peterdenk

Just have a look at their repository. It is not a PHP framework, it is an empty application. You can pick from at least two prepared application skeletons. It organizes not only the PHP code, but the assets too. It has internationalization support. More features - observers in their active record, event system, something that is similar to HMVC, they call it "widgets", authentication, and so forth. More man-power. These things you can read alone.

It is interesting to see what other people do with it. I got impressed with this example: http://yii2-starter-kit.terentev.net/ , https://github.com/trntv/yii2-starter-kit - see how logical the structure is - frontend, backend, modules

People are making progress while here we are singing the song "Small, easy to learn, learning curve..., footprint...". IMO this song is delusional and dangerous.

I don't want to open a battle here, I am just sharing what worries me.
