Laravel Vs Codeigniter. A difficult choice

I do not understand your comment. 

I’m curious, please elaborate.

CI4 has a lot of potential. But he is not developing.
Documentation changes, errors are corrected, but there are no obvious changes that improve the work of the framework.

Any breaking changes are postponed to the mythical 5 version.

Therefore, I believe that at this stage of development, CI4 is a swamp.
And if nothing changes he will repeat the fate of CI 1/2
