Is Code Igniter recommended for development?

Lately, I have been exploring Code Igniter and it appears to be effortless to swiftly develop an idea with minimal effort. My main focus has been on learning Symfony and I had overlooked Code Igniter because it was widely believed that Laravel or Symfony would be a better choice. However, upon revisiting it, I was impressed with the ease of use. Its simplicity is definitely a strong advantage for me. Are there any specific reasons why Code Igniter might not be suggested?
