I started learning Adonis once, but then I noticed it attempts to copy Laravel and that it's not yet a finished copy. So I decided to investigate Laravel, liked it and stayed with it. Laracasts and its docs are great.

Maybe Adonis can keep improving and eventually get to Laravel's level, but I highly doubt it, as it is a single developer project. Also it's a risky bet to use a single dev project.

You know Laravel is a single dev project right?

You are right. Still with 41.000 github stars and thousands of users I wouldn't worry about it being discontinued if the main developer stops working on it.
That's the beauty of open source, just like with Laravel, Adonis can have a fork if the main dev just up and disappears too.
I think, to Adonis's credit, they have started slowly diverge from being a Laravel clone and forge their own path going forward. It looks really nice to use, I look forward to giving it a crack.
