I've been using Laravel for the past few years. The more I used it, the more I like it. It comes with a lot of good features to make your life easier. Authentication is managed for you, there is a great workflow for database versioning, it's very easy to make background jobs and commands, unit testing is very convenient...
In addition to the features included, there is a big community making packages for Laravel. Almost every time you need to do something, there is a package waiting for you.
